Mim replied to George Trejo's discussion Freezing Chocolates"Again, thank you Lana for your invaluable advice. I think for the nut covered truffles, I will freeze the already rolled ganache pieces, and dip and cover with nuts when needed so as to keep the nuts intact... as unlike your pecan piece, they are…"
Mim replied to George Trejo's discussion Freezing Chocolates"Thank you again for these very useful little details that make all the difference! I have another question- how do truffles enrobed in tempered chocolate and rolled in nuts fare in this freezing process? For example chopped pistachio or almond…"

Mim replied to Mim's discussion Any ideas on good priced chocolate packaging in our area? in the group Chocolate Down Under"Hi Hanna,
Could be a good idea, but I guess it would depend on the quantity, perhaps (I think your business is probably quite big)? Would you like to send me some more details please, or perhaps the website of your supplier so that I can…"

Hanna Frederick replied to Mim's discussion Any ideas on good priced chocolate packaging in our area? in the group Chocolate Down Under"Hi Mim, I source my boxes from abroad. Perhaps getting one big shipment at once as a "co-up", and lowering the shipping vost together taht way is a solution. My boxes are cardboard and come with the setrough palstic top, plyus golden choc…"
Jan van Poortvliet replied to Mim's discussion Any ideas on good priced chocolate packaging in our area? in the group Chocolate Down Under"Hi Mim,
You have been searching like i've did.

Any ideas on good priced chocolate packaging in our area?
I would like to know if anyone can advise me on inexpensive packaging for my chocolates. I have already found good sources for transparent acetate boxes of about 3 and 4 square inches on ebay (especially those coming from HK), but I would now like to find some cardboard boxes with inserts and transparent lids. I've already sourced out the obvious companies such as Metropak, Plasbox and Brown Paper Packaging, but has anyone found other less expensive suppliers?See More
