Frequently Asked Questions
Do the chocolate shells need to be refrigerated?
While our chocolate is stable at room temperature, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place (60-70°F). If you fill them with mousse or perishable ingredients, the finished dessert should be refrigerated until serving.
Will the chocolate shot glasses leak if I put liquid in them?
No! Our chocolate shot glasses are professionally molded to be liquid-tight. They are perfect for spirits, liqueurs, or even chilled espresso. We recommend pouring the liquid just before serving for the best experience.
Can I order these in bulk for weddings or corporate events?
Absolutely! We specialize in supplying high-quality edible vessels for caterers, event planners, and large-scale celebrations. Whether you need a few dozen or a few thousand, we can accommodate your needs. Please visit our Contact Page for bulk pricing and lead times.
Are these chocolate vessels gluten-free?
Our dark chocolate shells are naturally gluten-free. However, always check the specific product page or contact us if you have severe sensitivities, as they are produced in a facility that handles other ingredients.
How far in advance can I fill the dessert cups?
For thick fillings like ganache or fudge, you can fill them several hours ahead. For “wetter” fillings like fruit or light cream, we recommend filling them within 1-2 hours of serving to maintain the chocolate’s signature “snap.”
Why these work for your next event:
Using these vessels removes the need for extra dishware and adds a “wow factor” that pre-made frozen desserts just can’t match. They are made with high-quality chocolate that holds its shape even when filled with mousse or spirits.
