Confections Care & Handling Guide

Our confections are handcrafted in small batches using traditional methods. Because these items are not mass-produced, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain quality, texture, and flavor.

Upon Arrival

Inspect your order immediately upon delivery.
Minor variations in shape, color, or texture are normal and expected.
Temperature changes during shipping may affect appearance, especially with chocolate-based items.

⚠️ Heat exposure can cause melting or blooming (a white or cloudy appearance). This is cosmetic and does not affect safety.

Storage Guidelines

General Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Ideal temperature: 60–70°F
Keep confections sealed when not in use.

Do Not Refrigerate Unless Noted

Refrigeration can introduce moisture and negatively affect texture.
If refrigeration is required due to heat exposure, allow items to return to room temperature before unsealing.

Shelf Life Expectations

Because our confections do not contain commercial preservatives, shelf life varies by product type.

Hard candies & brittles: several weeks to months when stored properly
Caramels, toffees, sponge candy, and chocolate-based items: best enjoyed within 2–4 weeks
Baked goods: consume within 3–7 days unless otherwise specified

Handling & Serving Tips

Use clean, dry hands or utensils.
Avoid humidity and moisture exposure.
Reseal packaging promptly after opening.
For chocolate items, handle minimally to prevent melting.

Allergy & Ingredient Notice

Confections are produced in a home kitchen under Florida Cottage Food Law.
Common allergens may include: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, and coconut.
