Questions about nut butter CUPS
JUSTIN’S® Certified Organic nut butter cups are free of preservatives and hydrogenated oils, which makes them more sensitive to temperature changes. Drastic changes during shipping, handling, and storage can cause the chocolate to discolor and the nut butter to dry out. We recommend storing nut butter cups below 65°F and away from heat or direct sunlight. Bloomed cups are still safe to consume and there have been no recipe changes.
If you come across dry nut butter cups, please share the purchase location, best by date, and lot code so we can work with our retail partners to prevent this in the future.
If you are experiencing white coating on your nut butter cups, it is actually the result of warmer temperatures causing changes in the cocoa butter and nut butter center. In production, if the chocolate does not completely form together to trap the nut buttery goodness inside the chocolate, it can leave this white residue/coating on the nut butter cups. The product is perfectly safe to consume!
If your nut butter cups appear lighter in color, this is a result of cocoa bloom, which is very common in nut containing chocolate candies made without preservatives. Exposure to cool temperatures following warm temperatures may affect the formulation and, as a result, this may cause the chocolate to appear whitish or even make the dark chocolate look like milk chocolate.
