Building your box

How many pieces fit in a box?

You can build a box of 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 or 24 pieces. Choose the bonbons yourself, or let us put an assortment together. The larger boxes work out better per piece and are the usual choice for a gift. For events we also have smaller packaging available in larger quantities, so contact us to talk options.

Can I choose every flavour myself?

Yes, every single one. Flavour preferences vary more than you would think, so picking each bonbon yourself, by flavour or even by colour and design, is half the fun. If you would rather be surprised, our assorted boxes give you a ready-made selection to sample or to give as a gift.

How long do the bonbons keep?

About four weeks from purchase, kept cool, anywhere from 4C to 18C. Our bonbons are made fresh without preservatives, so they are best enjoyed soon rather than saved. A few days at room temperature in transit is fine, but after that keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, and let them come back to room temperature before you eat them so the flavour opens up.

Should I keep them in the fridge?

Yes, in an airtight container. The airtight part matters twice over: chocolate dislikes humidity, and it will pick up the smell of whatever it is stored near. Take them out a little before you eat them. Left in a warm room our bonbons will soften, since they melt above 26C.

Can I add a gift message?

Yes. We are happy to include your note on a small, simple insert. You can also add one of our artisanal greeting cards, designed by local Muskoka artists, and if you are ordering online we will write your message inside the card for you.

What if someone has an allergy?

Every product page lists its ingredients, so you can check any piece before you order, and you can always call or email us with a specific question. Our facility does handle nuts, gluten and dairy. We do our best to avoid cross-contact, but if a reaction would be serious, the safest choice is not to take the risk.
