Chocolate-covered raisins in warm weather

Chocolate and a hot delivery truck do not get along. Here is what buyers report, what the packs say about storage and how to give a summer order its best chance.

Do chocolate covered raisins melt in the mail?

Sometimes. Of 275 recent buyer reviews across the lineup, 29 talk about how the chocolate travelled: 17 say it arrived unmelted and 12 describe a melted or clumped pack.

Heat is the common thread in the melted reports. Buyers mention delivery days of 97 to 110 degrees, a mailbox in the sun and a bag that turned into one lump. Several of the good reports mention a cold pack or an insulated box.

In buyers' words

Delicious and NOT MELTED

Product arrived on time and well-packaged. There was a stamp on the box that said: “Avoid Heat.” Very helpful to know!

I Love These Properly Dressed Raisins

I ordered these this week forgetting how hot it is here right now. They shipped it in a nice insulated box with a cool pack. Arrived in edible non-melted condition. Very much appreciated. These are so delicious. Raisins are healthy! I got hooked on them after eating them for the first time in many years. A good way to reward yourself for whatever.

How should you store chocolate covered raisins?

In a cool, dry place. That is the storage line on 10 of the products in the lineup, and a few brands add the refrigerator for a longer shelf life or a warning about direct sunlight.

Keep an opened jar or bulk bag sealed. More than one brand ties freshness to a tight lid or an airtight container.

Packs buyers say came through unmelted

Four ways to help a summer order

  1. Look at the delivery day

    The melted packs in the reviews arrived on days of 100 degrees and up. A cooler week is the simple fix.

  2. Be home for it

    A parcel that sits in a sunny mailbox is where the lumps come from. Bring it in when it lands.

  3. Open it somewhere cool

    Let a warm pack rest in a cool, dry room before you open it, the way the labels ask you to store it.

  4. Know where returns go

    Delivery and returns are handled by our retail partner at checkout, so a melted order is theirs to put right.
