FAQs
OUR CHOCOLATES
Are these chocolates handmade?
Yes, our chocolates are all handmade at our manufacturer in Freeport, New York, or in your local store.
Where are the chocolates made?
While our base chocolate is originally shipped from Belgium, which is considered by many to be the finest chocolate, it is molded into the final product at our manufacturer in Freeport, NY.

What is the shelf life of your products?
For optimum quality, we recommended consuming Chocolate Works’ chocolates within a year of purchase. Chocolates containing cookies, graham crackers or pretzels have a shelf life of 3-6 months. Storing the chocolates in cool, dry places under 70 degrees Fahrenheit will help persevere the chocolates. Avoid direct sunlight, as it will damage the chocolate.

Is there any extra fee on Custom Orders?
Yes, there can be personalization fees and/or a one-time mold/set-up fee that applies to some custom orders. For more information about custom orders please contact us by phone at (516) 868 -8070 or email us at orders@ChocolateWorks.com.
The product I received was not as pictured on the website. Why is this?
We aim to provide the specific products as shown on the website. However, on occasion, substitutions of equal or greater value may be necessary.
CUSTOM SUGAR PAPER
What are sugar papers and what is the distinction between your sugar papers and other company’s transfer sheets?
Our sugar papers are 100% edible sugar paper with edible food coloring. We use a photographic full color process to create the image, whereas transfer sheets limit the number of colors to 1-4 colors that can be used as well as the surface to which they can be applied.
Can you taste the sugar paper layer when it is applied to chocolates?
No, you cannot taste the sugar paper. Currently, there are other products on the market that utilize a design applied on a ¼ inch of sugar or fondant, which is very noticeable when bitten into. Our product is paper-thin and has no discernible taste to distract from the delicious chocolate underneath.
What images can I print?
You only have the options to print images that you own and have rights to. This means, you cannot print logos for companies or characters that have trademarks, such as Disney Characters or Sports Team’s logos. By submitting your images, you are consenting that you own the image. Legal actions could result from unlawful printing of third party images. In the event Chocolate Works is contacted by the owning party of the submitted image, aforementioned owner will be directed to you for further questioning regarding the illegal use of the image(s) in question.
For more information on what you can print, please call us at (516) 868-8070 or email us any inquiries. If we have any questions regarding the right of an image, we may contact you to sign a document to verify you own the rights to reproduce the image. This may cause delays in your order fulfillment.
What image resolution do I need to make high-quality prints?
The higher the resolution the better. However, today's megapixel or better cameras are fine for most print sizes. It's also important to note that the quality of the photography strongly affects the quality of the prints. Well taken shots with proper lighting, white balance and focus, can yield great prints even at sub resolutions. Shots taken in poor conditions can result in unhappy prints, even if the pictures are high resolution.
Can I print scanned pictures?
Yes. After you scan the photo you need to save them as, or convert them to, JPEG format. We recommend that you scan at 300 dpi or higher. More importantly, when you save as, or convert to JPEG, you need to keep the JPEG quality high (i.e., minimize the JPEG compression). This will keep the high color depth that is needed for great prints. The resulting files will be larger, but the resulting prints will more closely match the original picture.
*Please note: we cannot guarantee color matching as it is a food product.
