Frequently asked questions
What are good food stocking stuffers? Small shelf-stable treats: chocolate bars, 5 oz hot sauces, finishing salts, a small jar of honey or a pouch of tea. All of these are on this page at $15 or less.
Will chocolate survive shipping? Chocolate is heat-sensitive, so late fall and winter are a good time to ship it. Store bars somewhere cool until the holiday.
Are there stocking stuffers for people avoiding sugar? Yes. Maverick's Sugar Free Dark Chocolate is sweetened with monk fruit and erythritol, and the salts, hot sauces and popcorn seasoning are savory.
