Yes, but we cannot guarantee that we will have a certain variety on a certain day.

What if I'm allergic to nuts?
We are happy to make a box without nut varieties. It is important to note that because the nut-free varieties are made in the same facility, there is the possibility of nut fragments in a chocolate.

Why don't you have a map/guide?
While most of our varieties stay the same, our assortment is constantly changing depending on what we happen to be making on that day or what ingredients are available to us; it is because of this that we find it impossible to maintain an accurate map.

Are your chocolates gluten free?
Yes. As per USDA guidelines they are gluten free.

How will I know what I'm eating?
Part of the Candinas experience is the game of determining what all of the varieties are; if that isn't a game that you enjoy playing, our link under "About Our Chocolates" shows our current varieties.

What is the cocoa content?
It varies depending on the chocolate. We use chocolate that has between 37% and 100% cocoa mass.
