1. How Should I Store My Bon Bon Bon Chocolate?

Proper storage is key to maintaining the texture and flavor of your bonbons. Chocolate is sensitive to heat and moisture, so the best place to store your treats is in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. A pantry or a cupboard that stays around 60-70°F (15-21°C) is ideal.

Avoid refrigerating your bonbons unless absolutely necessary, as the humidity can cause sugar bloom (white spots) and alter the texture. If you do refrigerate, place them in an airtight container and let them come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For long-term storage, you can freeze them, but again, use an airtight container and thaw slowly.

• Keep bonbons in a cool, dry place (60-70°F).
• Avoid refrigeration unless needed; use airtight containers if you do.
• Let refrigerated or frozen chocolate come to room temperature before unwrapping.

2. What Are the Shipping Options and How Do Bonbons Arrive?

We understand that getting your chocolate to you in perfect condition is crucial. We offer various shipping options at checkout, and we package our bonbons carefully to protect them during transit. Depending on the season and destination, we may use insulated packaging and ice packs to ensure your chocolate doesn't melt.

Once your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number so you can follow its journey. If you have any concerns about shipping, especially during warmer months, we recommend choosing expedited shipping to minimize time in transit. And if you're sending chocolate as a gift, you can include a note—just let us know at checkout.

• Check your email for tracking information after your order ships.
