What makes your products "healthy"?

Our products are all natural.  Chocolate Covered Everything does not add or use any preservatives, chemicals, food coloring, lard, hydrogenated oils, or high-fructose corn syrup.  We use organic ingredients whenever possible.  We always use 100% organic whole grain flour for our homemade baked goods as well as organic sugar, cage free organic eggs, organic grass fed butter, sea salt, and aluminum-free baking powder.  Please look throughout our website to see which items contain organic ingredients.

Are your products low calorie?

Our products are not low calorie, but as you'll see throughout the website, we try to use the healthiest ingredients whenever possible...  Such as, we might use organic applesauce in place of butter, organic whole grain flour instead of white flour, organic maple syrup instead of sugar, or just less sugar altogether.  Also, our products are typically smaller in size so it's a lower calorie portion size that's packed with lots of yummy flavor.

Do your products taste good or do they taste healthy?

We understand that many people will turn away from healthier foods due to their undesirable taste.  Chocolate Covered Everything believes desserts should be delicious or there's no point eating them, so we will never sacrifice flavor just to make something healthy, but we will always add as much "healthy" as possible into everything we make!

Will I like your chocolate if I only like dark chocolate or milk chocolate?

We use a blend of semi-sweet dark chocolates.  We have purposely created this special and unique combination so it appeals to everyone.  We've heard from people who will only eat dark chocolate and people who only eat milk chocolate and they all love this blend!

Will I lose weight eating your products?

Please keep in mind that even though we always strive to make everything as high fiber, high protein, low sugar, and low fat as possible, Chocolate Covered Everything is not considered "diet" foods for weight loss.  Even if you've heard it a million times, we'll say it again...  Everything should be eaten in moderation, no matter how natural or healthy it is, or how good it tastes.  Of course, if you exercise, you can always eat more!

Why don't my treats look exactly alike?

Each item is handcrafted individually, so they will look similar, but they might be different sizes and have slight imperfections — something you wouldn't see if we were using molds to make our products.  These imperfections do not in any way alter the quality or taste of our products, but they do represent all the love and attention that goes into each one!

How do I store your products?

Most of our products don't need to be refrigerated, but we recommend that you keep them in the refrigerator anyway, as refrigeration will extend the shelf life of any food item.  Take them out of the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before eating to allow them to reach room temperature.  The only reason we don't recommend freezing our products is due to the possible change of look or texture, but a lot of people do freeze many of our products and LOVE them that way.  So, you might want to try it?

Do your products contain lactose?

The chocolate we use does not contain lactose protein, but it is made in a facility that does process foods containing lactose.  We cannot guarantee that there aren't some random lactose proteins that have come in contact with our chocolate.  So, if you have a severe allergy, please use good judgement when trying our products.  Some of our products do contain milk butter — look for the lactose warnings next to the individual items on the website.

What if I have nut allergies?

We make many items with peanuts and other types of tree nuts.  We do make plenty of items that do not contain nuts, but they are all made in the same facility...  So unfortunately, if you have a nut allergy we think it's in your best interest to stay away from all of our products.  Please look for the nut warnings next to the individual products on the website.

Do your products contain gluten?

Chocolate Covered Everything makes plenty of items that do not contain gluten, but those products are made in the same facility as the products that do contain gluten.  If you have a severe allergy, please use your good judgement when trying our products.  Look for the gluten warnings next to the individual products on the website.

Can I purchase items by the pound?

As a more convenient way for you to purchase larger quantities, we do offer some items that can be purchased by the pound, they will not include a cotton pouch.  They are typically packaged in a Kraft bag.

Do you offer shipping?

Yes, but we are not currently shipping any of our products that contain fresh fruit.  Those items will be marked as local NYC delivery or pick up only.  If you are in the New York City area, please contact us to place your order for those items.

Are there extra fees for shipping?

In warmer weather, packages are typically shipped with insulated shipping materials and cold packs to ensure your treats arrive to their new home safely.  Any additional fees for packing materials are already included in the shipping price at checkout.  During warmer weather, shipping fees may increase due to the costs of faster shipping and additional insulated packing materials.  We are continually working to keep our shipping costs as low as possible and will always pass those savings on to you.

When will I receive my order?

We ship orders out Monday through Thursday.  Your package will typically arrive within 1-3 business days once it has been shipped.  To avoid the possibility of your package getting stuck in a facility or on a truck over the weekend, we typically do not ship on Fridays.  We will only ship on Fridays if you request a rush order with Saturday delivery.  Sometimes orders take a bit longer to ship because everything is handmade and we'd prefer to make you fresh items whenever possible.

Why isn't there an invoice in my package?

Chocolate Covered Everythig feels that reducing paper is just one of the little things we can do to help save the environment.  You will receive an email of your invoice after you place your order.  If you need a paper invoice in your package, please contact us to let us know.

Will my order include tax?

Chocolate Covered Everything is required to charge tax for any order that is purchased and shipped or delivered to an address within New York State.  If there is a required tax then it will be shown at checkout.
