Chocolates by the Pound: Squares, Rings, Brittles, and More

The rule of thumb Fames Chocolates gives event customers is a quarter to a half pound per guest, higher when kids dominate the list. For a hundred person simcha that lands between twenty five and fifty pounds, spread across a few varieties so every table has range.

Your order comes in a one pound box, packed with whichever varieties you choose, squares, jelly rings, nut clusters, brittle, or a mix of several. Fames Chocolates fills each box with exactly what you ask for, made the same way as everything else in the shop.

No. It's the same chocolate from the same Brooklyn workshop, made by the same hands. The only real difference is packaging, and that's the point when you're filling platters and bowls instead of handing one person a gift. Mix formats when you need both, bulk for the table and gift boxes for the honorees.

Yes, and that is the reason caterers like it. Everything Fames Chocolates makes is Kosher Pareve, no dairy and no meat ingredients, so the same order works at a fleishig wedding, a dairy kiddush, or an office party where nobody is checking anything.

Cool, dry, and out of sunlight, ideally around sixty to seventy degrees. Skip the fridge, since condensation dulls the shine and can leave a white film. Bought a week or two ahead, chocolate waits patiently in a pantry or basement until the tables get set.
