********NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM NUT ALLERGY ***********
I also have a listing for a GIANT PEANUT BUTTER CUP, LARGE PEANUT BUTTER CUP, PEANUT BUTTER NUTTERS, and PEANUT BUTTER HEARTS...... so please SEARCH FOR 'PEANUT BUTTER' IN MY SHOP to find them! untouched.HOW LONG DOES THE CHOCOLATE LAST + STORAGE INFO
All chocolates from my shop SHOULD BE KEPT WELL WRAPPED and in the FRIDGE. This protects the chocolate and the food paints.
I send STORAGE and ALLERGEN details, and a BEST BEFORE date (generally 8 weeks from purchase), with each order. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A USE BY DATE. The chocolate is perfectly fine for longer, (up to 4 months), but I find it useful to give a best before date, to encourage the recipient to actually eat it! Yes, it's chocolate, but I guess because it is more unusual than standard chocolate gifts, the danger is.... it may be thought of as ' too special to eat' for a little too long!
I generally ship and send my orders within 2 days of making them, so your chocolate will be at it's very best.
CHOCOLATE INFORMATION & CARE
PLEASE ALSO READ MY FAQ; 'HOW LONG DOES THE CHOCOLATE LAST + STORAGE INFO'
Chocolate is affected by moisture, light, temperature, and exposure to air, any of which can cause it to 'bloom', ie. the fat particles rise to the surface, and cause a white 'chocolate rash'. It can spoil the appearance of any unpainted chocolate, but it is still fine to eat. In my experience, paint covered chocolate is less likely to bloom, ....but of course, it can still melt!!
Handmade chocolate that is not produced and wrapped in factory conditions, will not last like a bar of Cadbury's! Exposure to paints, and air drying time, mean that my chocs should be kept well wrapped and refrigerated (when received), to protect the paints and be at their best.
ALLERGEN/VEGAN/VEGETARIAN INFORMATION
PLEASE ALSO READ MY OTHER FAQ; 'WHAT'S IN THE PAINTS?'
I only use high quality, BELGIAN chocolate for ALL my chocolates, including all the miniatures.
ALL MY CHOCOLATES ARE SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS AND ARE GLUTEN FREE, BUT ONLY MY PLAIN (DARK) CHOCOLATE IS SUITABLE FOR VEGANS.
MY FOOD PAINT COLOURS are all VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY and GLUTEN FREE. The majority of colours are also VEGAN FRIENDLY, but can be checked on request.
I have also made DAIRY FREE chocolate gifts, using my PLAIN DARK CHOCOLATE.
I make several items containing peanut butter, so CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS 'NUT FREE', however I only use specific moulds for the peanut butter items, with the remainder used for solid chocolates. ITEMS MAY CONTAIN NUT TRACES.
ARE ALL ITEMS 'MADE TO ORDER'?
YES! I list all items as more than 1 in stock, as many customers wish to order more than one of the same item or chocolate set. The item will also disappear from my Etsy shop when it is sold, if I do not list more than one available. That's why I never show only one item in stock...because I am always able to make more!!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK THE DESPATCH DATE (Also known as Shipping date or Posting date) SHOWN ON YOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION. I DO NOT sell 'off the shelf' items, therefore I have to mould, paint, dry and package each item, before they can make their way to you. ALL MY ORDERS ARE GIFT ORDERS!
IT IS VITAL THAT YOU TAKE NOTE OF THE DESPATCH DATE.... AND THEN ALLOW FOR THE ESTIMATED SHIPPING TIMES, AS SHOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY!!
ADVANCE ORDERS - CHRISTMAS & SEASONAL PERIODS
PLEASE ALSO READ MY OTHER FAQ; 'HOW LONG DOES THE CHOCOLATE LAST.'
As I like to make and ship my chocs within 2-3 days, it's very hard for me to cope with a sudden surge of seasonal orders. I understand that you wish to receive your order with the longest shelf life, therefore I am happy to delay despatch by +21 days from your date of purchase. This is the maximum delay period allowed by Etsy, before my shop is penalised.
I am happy to suggest timescales for overseas delivery, but can never guarantee them.
SHIPPING/POSTAGE INFORMATION
PLEASE ALSO READ THE 'Estimated Delivery Times' SHOWN ON THE ITEM LISTING FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
UK PARCELS are sent using Royal Mail 1st class service (delivery time of 1-2 days), which must be added to my processing times, which do vary. All items are MADE TO ORDER so I cannot routinely make and send in 1 or 2 days!
INTERNATIONAL PARCELS - are sent using Royal Mail 1st class tracked service, or select a tracked + signed service (extra cost).
I pack very carefully and note temperatures at the destination address, but unfortunately HEAT MELTS! PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE TEMPERATURES IN YOUR AREA WHEN ORDERING! Photos of broken items are required in order for me to make a claim with Royal Mail, who will require your details to verify the claim.
