Will my chocolate melt in transit?

Open tab

While we do our best to ensure that all items are received in perfect condition by adding ice packs during warmer months (85F or more), it is not something we can guarantee due to many circumstances beyond our control. Please note that if the product is shipped in warm weather and you are not there to receive the package and it sits on your doorstep in the direct heat, then we are not responsible for replacing it. Once we send you the tracking information, it is your responsibility to be sure someone is there to receive the package. We are not responsible for any delays from the shipper after they have received the products to be delivered. 

If you would like to hold off on shipping your items during warmer months we would be happy to accommodate a later shipping date.

Can I change the shipping address once my order ships?

My package was marked as delivered, but never showed up. What do I do?

Open tab

Usually, your package will show up within a few days to a week. Sometimes shipping carriers will mark packages as delivered a day or so before they actually are in order to meet quotas, so consider it a delivery window and keep an eye out for the delivery! Once the package has left our warehouse, the carrier is responsible for your package and delivery.

If it has not shown up after one business day of being marked delivered or your order is lost, please shoot us an email hello@madhuchocolate.com and we will work with you on this order! If your order is lost because you entered the wrong shipping address, however, you are responsible for covering the shipping costs of having it resent along with the costs of the products.

Chocolate Care & Questions

How should I store chocolate bars?

Open tab

Please do not store chocolate bars in the refrigerator. Store it in a cool, dry place with no direct sunlight on it like your pantry.

How should I store other chocolate products?

Open tab

Chocolate products like Pistachio Chocolate Spread, Hot Cocoa mixes should be kept in dry, cool place away from any direct sunlight

Are your products gluten free?

Open tab

All our products are gluten-free.

I see white marks on the chocolate. Is that mold?

Open tab

Thank you for asking! Chocolate does not like water at all so there is no chance of any mold growing on chocolate. The white streaks/marks which you see on the chocolate is the sign of chocolate melting and resolidyfing back to its form and pushing cocoa butter to the surface. That cocoa butter gives it those uneven beautiful white marks. That chocolate product is totally safe to consume.

My chocolate spread is a little grainy.

Open tab

Because we don't add any oils to our Chocolate spread, crystals can sometimes form. All you need to do is pop that jar in the microwave for 20 seconds, give the jar a stir and let them melt. You may need to repeat that process one or two more times until its totally smooth.
