Does Purdys use palm oil?
The ingredients are amazing in this bar; unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, quinoa, shelled hemp seed, soy lecithin, vanilla extract. No fake sugars like high fructose corn syrup. And my favourite; no palm oil!24 Jan 2017
Can you freeze Purdys chocolates?
Frozen chocolates will maintain their goodness for up to 6 months. If you are going to freeze your chocolates, put them in an airtight bag and when defrosting place in the fridge for 24 hours then move to room temperature for 24 hours. You will then have the perfect chocolates!
