Our chocolates have a shelf life ranging from 15 minutes to 12 months (depending on your personal resolve and self-control).
We recommend storing our chocolate in a cool, dry place. The ideal storage temperature is 55F-70F degrees, so don’t store your chocolate in your refrigerator! Much like baking soda, chocolate is susceptible to absorbing unwanted odors. Being exposed to cold temperatures for too long can also cause your chocolate to bloom.
It sounds pretty, but it can actually be pretty odd-looking. Blooming is a process where the fats and sugars of the chocolate re-solidify, and become visible on the outer surface of the chocolate shell. This can look like whitish “dust” on the surface of the chocolate. It does not affect the flavor of the chocolate, and yes, you can definitely still eat it!
All of our packaging is either recyclable or compostable - just follow the instructions on the packaging.
Yes, our chocolate is as natural as the smile on your face when you take a bite. Our products are made using ingredients from all natural sources. We do not use or add any GMOs, preservatives, artificial or synthetic ingredients, flavors or colors.
While we do utilize one inclusion (confetti sprinkles) that is made with Palm Oil, we have verified that the Palm Oil used in this ingredient is sustainably sourced, gathered from resources that do not contribute to deforestation or other impact concerns from standard providers.
Our Maeve Chocolate line does use a tiny amount of soy lecithin as an emulsifier to control the viscosity and keep our chocolate nice & smooth. We have great news, though! The soy lecithin we use is organic and from non-GMO sources. If you prefer to avoid soy altogether, we recommend trying a little something from our JCOCO line, which uses sunflower lecithin instead!
Yes, we do! Here are our bars that are vegan:
Many of our truffle bars and bonbons are gluten-free - just check the back of the box or bar. Our rigorous allergen cross-contact prevention program includes cleaning and detecting gluten on all machines before manufacturing a new product batch. The FDA states that products with a Gluten-Free claim must contain less than 20 gluten parts per million. Our test is even more sensitive, detecting as low as 10 parts per million. We only run products after the gluten test result is negative.
All Maeve truffle bars and bonbons are made in a plant that handles milk, soy, peanut, other tree nuts, egg and wheat products. We do follow a rigorous cleaning and sanitation program between batches to ensure the lines are allergen free.
Yes, all of our products are certified Star-D Dairy Kosher.
We use 100% non-GMO ingredients in our core line of Maeve bars and truffles. Each bar includes information on the back that lists non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, etc.
We’re proud to ethically source our chocolate from Peru, West Africa, Tanzania, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic; and we do everything we can to ensure that our supply chain is putting people and the planet first. Learn more here.
It’s imperative that our cocoa farmers are paid well and able to live quality lives. Whenever possible, we source directly from the farmers who grow the beans used in our chocolate. In locations where we aren’t able to do so, we’re proud to source Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa. Find out more at ra.org.
We do not make sugar-free products.

Everyday orders are processed within two business days or less. After that, your shipping method and location will determine how soon you get your treats!

Please see the timelines below for further details.
We check weather conditions for every destination to ensure your chocolate arrives in tip-top condition. Chocolate is very sensitive to warm temperatures, so in warm areas and during warm months, we pack with gel packs and dry ice and ship 2-3 day to make sure your package arrives safely. We are unable to ship standard to most states during the warmer months. Due to year-round average temperatures, or extended ground shipping transit times, we do require priority shipping for Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Please note, unless your package is taking a short trip around the Pacific Northwest, we typically ship ground Monday-Wednesday only to ensure your chocolate isn't sitting unattended over a weekend. We don’t want it to melt on you!
Chocolate starts to melt at 70 degrees F, so we take great care when preparing and shipping your order to ensure it arrives to you in perfect condition.
During the summer months, or as the weather requires, we may need to wrap the chocolate in dry ice and gel packs to ensure the safety of your shipment. Orders shipping to destinations of temperatures of 90 degrees or warmer may be held until temperatures cool.
We may not ship a package on Thursday or Friday to avoid our chocolate melting over the weekend. Please see the timelines in the above FedEx shipping section for further details.
Please make sure that you, or the lucky recipient, will be available at the specified shipping address when the goodies are expected to arrive. We don't want melted chocolate on your doorstep!
No, unfortunately we cannot ship to P.O. Box, Highway Box, or APO/FPO addresses.
Unfortunately, we do not make deliveries outside of the U.S. and Canada, or charge credit cards with international addresses.
We acknowledge that shipping expenses can add up these days. We try to provide our customers with the most affordable shipping rates available, for the best possible quality of service and speed. Since we are shipping chocolate, which is temperature sensitive, we sometimes have to take extra care to make sure your order arrives to you in the best possible condition. Your final shipping total is the result of all of these considerations.
Shipments returned due to an incorrect shipping address may require an additional charge for reshipment. We are not responsible for delays in delivery time due to incorrect or incomplete addresses. Shipping charges will not be refunded for late delivery if the business is closed or not available to receive the package when delivered.

THE BAD NEWS: Chocolate prices are going up.
THE GOOD NEWS: Chocolate prices are going up.
Allow us to explain.
In 2024, cocoa prices skyrocketed - we’re talking almost quadruple the price in less than a year. Climate change has caused adverse weather conditions in the places where cocoa is grown, and that combined with chronic underinvestment in farms resulted in a 12% decrease in global cocoa production last year. So there’s less cocoa to be had - but the world still wants chocolate, of course. The imbalance in supply and demand means prices are way up; but there’s a silver lining.
Finally, cocoa farmers are being paid more for the important crop they provide.
Paying farmers fairly is an essential tenet of our company, and we’re glad to see the rest of the world catching up. We’re doing everything on our end to minimize the price you pay for our chocolate, but wanted to let you know that our prices have gone up due to the cocoa spike. We so appreciate your support of Maeve Chocolate, and hope you’ll continue to find a little joy in our truffle bars and bonbons.
Oh, and rest assured this has only made us even more fired up about protecting our precious earth: we’re proud to be a carbon neutral company with sustainable packaging and practices, and that will never change.
