HOW DO YOU COLOR THE CHOCOLATES? The chocolates are colored with cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is the fat that is in chocolate. We color the cocoa butter, which looks like butter when it’s melted, and use it to paint the molds by hand.

• WHERE SHOULD I STORE THE CHOCOLATES? SHOULD I REFRIGERATE THEM? • Keep the chocolates in a cool, dark place— any room with AC is fine. • Putting the chocolates in the fridge will affect the texture of the ganache, and will cause condensation on the chocolates, which will in turn affect the way they look.
