Do your products contain Egg?

Although we do not use any raw eggs in our products, we do use items that contain cooked eggs in them. These items are not used in the manufacturing process of any chocolate items. However, we always caution that an item could be cross contaminated. Cross contamination risk is low but not impossible.

Should I refrigerate fudge?

How does the weather affect fudge?

Hot weather can cause fudge to get dried out, while moisture or high humidity can cause fudge to become too soft or worse, moldy.

 

What should I do if my fudge dries out?

You can try putting the fudge in a sealed plastic bag with a wet paper towel overnight to let it absorb some of the moisture.

If you’d rather not wait, you can always try microwaving the fudge for 15 seconds.

 

What are the main ingredients in your fudge?

We use the same ingredients in our fudge that you’ll find in many classic fudge recipes: butter, brown sugar and dairy.

 

What type of gelatin do you use in your candies?

Our candies are made with pork gelatin, which is common in candy production.

 

Is any of your candy vegan?

No. Between the milk products used to make chocolate and fudge and the gelatin that goes into our candy, none of our products can rightly be called vegan.

 

How should candy be stored?

Like fudge and chocolate, you can store candy at room temperature (60-68°).
