Hey....I love frozen chocolate. A frozen Reeces Peanut butter cup is great.
After holidays I often buy chocolate when it goes on sale (after Easter/Christmas/etc.) and freeze it for months at a time. No problem. When it's frozen you can't eat it very fast Gene "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... Chocolate is tough to ship in summer, and can be difficult in winter too. I forget what the actual word for this is, but what happens is that chocolate, if kept too cold, gets that white coating on it. So you'd have to very carefully pack it to create a cool but not cold environment. People don't keep chocolate in the fridge, nor freeze it. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. Thanks Ray. I guess it does add up. K "Ray B" wrote in message news:YH0pi.429$zJ4.419@trndny03... In winter, I add 1 or 2 heat packs, depending upon the size of the box. In wholesale quantities, they're under $2 each. However, as they do have a relatively short life, if the recipient is more than 2 days away by ground, I upgrade them to 2-day Express service. With that, it might add that much. In summer, when I know the packages will warm up, I thoroughly water the plant before shipping (something to avoid in winter). That evaporative cooling seems to do the trick. I do not charge for that. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info! "K Barrett" wrote in message ... On another site I read a person wondered about shipping chocolate in summer months. The factory rep responded that it cost $50 to ship a $24 order, so advised waiting till fall to order chocolate thru the mail. Now, we don't wait to ship living organisms like orchids..... so what's up with that?? Vendors commonly use cool/heat pads when they ship, and I don't think they cost an additional $20-$25 does it?

Peanut butter cups are different.......
Once you mix the chocolate with other ingredients, no prob. Chocolate ice cream comes to mind. It's not that the chocolate goes bad. It just loses texture. (Oh, jees, now I'm getting a chocolate jones. Kathy, what have you started?) ;oD Diana "Gene Schurg" wrote in message news:vPapi.731$Ub7.610@trnddc04... Hey....I love frozen chocolate.
