Here are some care and handling tips for keeping everything fresh and beautiful until serving or gifting: Before Pickup •Bring a cooler or insulated bag if it’s warm outside. Chocolate is heat-sensitive. •Avoid running other errands first — plan pickup close to when you’ll be home or delivering. During Transport •Keep them cool but not frozen: Ideal temperature is around 50–60°F (10–16°C) for chocolate-dipped treats, or fridge-cool (about 40°F / 4°C). •Lay flat and secure: Place boxes on a level surface in your car (like the floor, not the seat) to prevent sliding. •Avoid direct sunlight: Even a few minutes in a warm car can cause chocolate to melt or “bloom” (turn whitish). After Pickup — Storage Chocolate-Dipped Treats (Pretzels, Rice Krispies, Marshmallows, Oreos, etc.) •Store in a cool, dry place — not the fridge, if possible, since humidity can dull the chocolate. •Keep airtight to prevent staleness. •Shelf life: about 1–2 weeks, depending on the treat.
