Q: Why are chocolate prices increasing at the moment?
A: Chocolate prices are rising due to higher costs of cocoa beans, supply chain disruptions, and increased transportation and energy expenses. Poor weather in cocoa-producing regions has also reduced crop yields, adding to the price hike. For more details, check out our blog post .

Q: Can I return chocolate products if I’m not satisfied?
A: Unfortunately, due to food safety regulations, we cannot accept returns on chocolate products or any food items once they have been shipped. We ensure that all products are carefully inspected before dispatch to meet our high-quality standards.

Q: What should I do if my chocolate melts during transit?
A: Chocolate may melt in transit, especially during warmer months. If your chocolate arrives melted, rest assured it is still safe to use. Simply allow the chocolate to cool and solidify, and then remelt it according to your recipe’s instructions. The quality and taste will remain unaffected.

Q: Why does my chocolate sometimes have a white coating on the surface?
