FAQ

ues stay fresh for about a month.  Our barks and anything totally enrobed in chocolate, (like the Jackson Squares and Toffee) will stay fresh for 2 months.

What is the best way to store candy?
Room temperature and out of the sun is best.  We do not recommend freezing or refrigerating the candy as it will affect the texture and may cause the chocolate to bloom. 

What is bloom? 
Bloom is a white haze that appears on the surface of the chocolate when it has been exposed to temperature fluctuations. This haze is sometimes mistaken for mold but is actually just the fat and sugar in the chocolate separating.  Bloom does not affect the taste of the candy but will affect its appearance and texture.

What are the white spots on my Pralines? 
When our Pralines are made, the ingredients are cooked at a very high temperature causing the sugar crystals to break down.  This is what gives our Pralines that smooth creamy texture. However, as soon as the Praline is scooped onto the marble and starts to cool down, the crystals slowly begin to re-form.  After a few days you will see more spots appear.  This doesn’t affect the taste of the Pralines, but will make them a little crunchier.  Compare it to a cookie fresh out of the oven vs. next day.  Still delicious, but with a different texture.  

Is there anything I can do to give my week old pralines that “just scooped” taste and creaminess? 
Pop your Praline in the microwave for 4 seconds at a time until it warms a bit.  Be very careful not to warm it for more than 8 seconds total or your Praline may turn to molten sugar.

Can I create an account after I start placing my order?
Yes. After your order is completed, you will be asked if you would like to create an account, which will allow you to track your orders and will also make ordering easier for you in the future.

Can I order Pralines with no nuts?

Are your shops wheelchair accessible?
Our 1010 Decatur St. location has two wheelchair accessible entries. Our 334 Decatur St. location is not as easily accessible, so we would recommend anyone requiring easy access use our 1010 Decatur St. location. However, should you find yourself outside of our 334 location, give us a call and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Is there a cut off for holiday orders? 
Yes, we do meet our physical capacity during peak season.  Due to the fresh, handmade nature of our candy and the physical limitations of our small kitchens, there may come a time during the month of December when we can no longer guarantee Christmas delivery.  To make sure you don’t miss the boat, place your order early and we can schedule it to ship closer to the holiday.
