Great question. When you are using real chocolate you can melt it around 110 F and cool it down to about 85 F to work with it.

You can use a double boiler but we recommend a crock pot (on low). Using a crock pot will avoid adding any moisture which can ruin the product yikes! IF you use a crockpot on low you can control the temperature and water exposure.

Raw means we don’t cook the nuts. We don’t process the nuts. It is as if it came out of the shell. Which is the healthiest way to go!

We process our nuts in house! We roast daily in peanut oil and salt them.

We roast every day!
