OUR FAQS

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE & HOW DO I STORE IT.

Our Chocolate has a 12 month best before date from production, however we do recommend that once your order is received it is consumed within 6 months to enjoy the chocolate at its best. All chocolate products decorated with edible paint / edible lustre dust we recommend consuming within 3 to 4 months. All products containing topping and fillings we recommend consuming within 2 months to enjoy at their best.

Chocolate is best stored at stable room temperature. We recommend that you store your purchase in its box, in a cool cupboard away from bright lights, strong odours and heat. Please do not store your chocolate in a cold place such as a refrigerator as a rapid change in temperature may cause your chocolate to bloom, discolour or even alter the taste.

 HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE?

We offer a bespoke personalised service here at A Little Gift Of Love – everything is made fresh to order once received usually within 5 working days, then dispatched. At Christmas / Halloween etc there are certain lines that we start to make up 4 to 6 weeks before hand to keep up with demand.

On average an order of 30 lollipops will take 2 to 3 working days to complete and then dispatch, this can also be effected by seasonal periods such as School holidays Christmas / Easter etc which can lengthen the production period to 10 working days.

We recommend ordering in advance for any event. We do take bookings and you can pre order up to 12 months before your event. Your order will then be booked into a prime slot to be received at your chosen time. Pre bookings require payment in full and are fully refundable up to 28 days before the date of your event.

ALLERGIES

Allergy advice:- With working in our own kitchen we can not rule out that all of our Belgian Chocolate products may contain traces of –  Eggs, Fish, Lupin, Milk, Mustard, Peanuts, Sesame, Soya, Tree Nuts, Cereals containing Gluten, Cereal, Celery and celeriac, Sulphur Dioxide, (preservative found in dried fruit), Crustaceans (i.e. prawns, crab, lobster, crayfish), Molluscs (i.e: clams, snails, muscles).

Although our milk, white and dark Belgian chocolate brand is nut and gluten free, and although we are very careful at A Little Gift Of Love we CANNOT guarantee our chocolate once it is manufactured into your gift / favours to be NUT  free. Although I now make in my own unit, I use a wide range of toppings and fillings that may contain TRACES OF ALL ALLERGENS listed above.

All our Belgian chocolate  is suitable for vegetarians apart from the strawberry flavour  chocolate which is not.

The Strawberry, Orange and Caramel flavoured Belgian Chocolate we use may contain GLUTEN Traces.(as stated on the packaging)

We use quality names brands for our fillings and toppings.

If you have any questions regarding Allergens or ingredients please contact us we are more than happy to help.

We do cater for Gluten free orders, please contact us to discuss this prior to ordering.

OUR DAIRY / VEGAN CHOCOLATE

For milk/soya allergies- Dairy Free / Vegan Chocolate products. I work on a seperate area and use all separate utensils/equipment from our Belgian chocolate products.

We use a fresh new disposable work surface for every Dairy Free order.
All dairy free products are made on a separate occasion from our Belgian Chocolate products.

This means Dairy Free Vegan orders my take slightly longer for production , especially if it’s peak season. Please be aware before ordering.

Allergy advice: All though we work under strict conditions to create our Dairy Free Vegan Chocolate products, we can not 100% guarantee there will not be traces of any known Allergen:- Lupin, Mustard, Peanuts, Sesame, Tree Nuts, Cereals containing, Celery and celeriac, Sulphur Dioxide, (preservative found in dried fruit), Crustaceans (i.e. prawns, crab, lobster, crayfish), Molluscs (i.e: clams, snails, muscles).
