Q: What is the minimum order for shopping on-line?
The minimum order is $10.00 before shipping charges.

Q: How long does it take an order to ship?
In stock items usually ship within 1-2 business days and custom items can take up to 4 or 5 days to ship. However, during busy times it can take up to 7-10 business days for your order to ship.

Q: How do you ship your chocolate during warm weather?
Due to chocolate’s sensitivity to heat, from May through September some orders will require 2nd day air shipping to ensure that the product arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Products sensitive to heat are noted with an asterisk (*) next to the product name. Besides shipping 2nd day air, we also use insulated boxes and cold packs on necessary items.

Q: What is the shelf life of the product?
Pasta: When kept cool and dry atmosphere, pasta can last almost indefinitely. However, we recommend you use the product within one year.
Sauces: One year. The sauces containing nuts have the shortest shelf life. Sauces must be refrigerated after they are opened.
Cookies: 4-6 Months
Chocolate Confections: Stored properly, our chocolate confections have a shelf life of one year.

Q: How should chocolate be stored?
Chocolates must be stored in a cool (less than 72° F) dry place away from direct sunlight.

Q: Is your fruit and grain sweetened dessert topping suitable for diabetics?
This topping is sweetened with grape juice concentrate and brown rice syrup that is metabolized more slowly than a refined sugar.  This product is very popular with most diabetics and health food enthusiasts but it is not truly sugar-free.  We use no artificial sweeteners but instead the all-natural sweetener that metabolizes as a complex carbohydrate.

Q: What is Chocolate Pasta?
It is real pasta made from egg whites, flour and cocoa.  It is not pieces of chocolate that are merely shaped like pasta.

Q: How do you cook Chocolate Pasta?  Will it melt when you cook it?
Chocolate Pasta is boiled like regular pasta.  No, it will not melt when it is cooked because the pasta is flavored with cocoa; it is not made of chocolate.
