We’re so excited to introduce another new addition to our Stover’s Sweet Team family — Nida Haque, known online as JustChocol8 by Nida! Based in Atlanta, GA, Nida brings a heart full of passion, a soul full of sweetness, & hands that craft the most divine chocolate creations. From viral cocoa bombs to stunning knafeh bars (also known as Dubai Bars), she’s got the magic touch & we’re so honored to have her as part of our team!

Her Sweet Journey
Baking began as a form of relaxation for Nida as a comforting escape during her intense days as a medical school student. When the world slowed down in 2020 due to the pandemic, she dipped her toes (& soon her whole self) into chocolate-making, starting with hot cocoa bombs. 

The response? Overwhelming love from friends & family & the beginning of a beautiful chocolate journey!

Since then, Nida’s treats have only grown more creative & delicious! Her sweet offerings now include staples like chocolate covered strawberries, Oreos, pretzels, cookiestix, cake pops, dates & now her signature Dubai Chocolate Bars!

What inspired Nida to turn her passion into a sweets business?
Social media mentors & fellow treat makers lit the spark & she’s now proudly part of that very same community of treat makers. Through her Instagram page, Nida showcases her gorgeous creations while sharing the love & knowledge she’s gathered along her journey. 

One of the most rewarding parts of this journey?
Finding confidence, building friendships, & creating a “chocolate family” that supports & uplifts one another! Becoming a member of Stover & Company’s Sweet Team, Nida says is “a dream come true.”
While her fans claim everything she makes is amazing (we couldn’t agree more), Nida’s top-selling treats shift depending on the season. From hot cocoa bombs to nut-stuffed, chocolate-covered dates & her famous Dubai inspired pistachio knafeh chocolate bars — Nida’s creations are a hit year round.

“We are convinced you can’t make a bad product. Everything is delicious!”
Says one of Nida’s loyal fans!

Stover & Company Love
Nida discovered Stover & Company through social media & was instantly hooked by the quality of our products & the family values behind the company. She uses our Eleven o’one European Deluxe Line for dipping & molding her treats thanks to its smooth texture & rich taste. She relies on our Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers for her decorative work — especially our Ultra White, Milk Chocolate, & variety of colored melting wafers. 

Nida’s go-to treat are her world famous Almond Joy Chocolate-Covered Dates! These stuffed Medjool dates are toasted almonds & shredded coconut before they are dipped into our melted Eleven o’One Milk Deluxe Wafers (cooled to 92–94°F). To finish them off, Nida tops the dates with a roasted almond & coconut sprinkle. *Chef Kiss!*

Nida’s top advice for beginners?
“Persevere. Chocolate work takes time, patience, & lots of practice. Don’t get discouraged!”

One final tip from Nida: She cools her cake pops & dates just slightly before dipping for a faster set time & smoother finish. Oh & no piping bags here! Nida swears by fine tipped drizzle bottles for her intricate chocolate designs!

Meet our newest Sweet Team Member: Katrinna Melendez of Sweet Kreations Co.

Katrinna’s Sweet Journey
Katrinna’s journey into the world of chocolate & baking began at an early age. Her babysitter, a chocolatier, first introduced her to the magic of confections as she filled her home with irresistible aromas that left a lasting impression. Growing up in a large family, Katrinna was mesmerized watching her older sisters bake cakes, eagerly anticipating the moment they would rise in the oven. As she began her career, she became known as the “Betty Crocker of the office,” delighting coworkers with homemade cakes & cookies. Now that Katrinna has a family of her own, she continues the tradition, crafting themed chocolate lollipops & cupcakes for every celebration!

While many people have encouraged Katrinna to open a bakery for years, it wasn’t until she experienced the loss of a loved one during Covid that she realized it was time to pursue her dream! Sweet Kreations Co. (SK Co.) was founded in honor of that special person. With this leap of faith came more growth, success, & deep fulfillment than she could’ve ever imagined. 

The Joy of Sharing & Teaching
For Katrinna, treat-making isn’t just about having a business, it’s about creating a community. She firmly believes in collaboration over competition, finding joy in sharing knowledge & helping fellow bakers perfect their craft! One of Katrinna’s most rewarding moments is seeing others succeed using tips she’s shared, making her a perfect addition to the Sweet Team!

Signature Treats & Go-To Product

Recently, Katrinna introduced chocolate-covered wafer cookies to her menu & they have quickly become a customer favorite! Beyond creating these delectable treats, she enjoys guiding fellow treat-makers on best practices for making them. When it comes to chocolate, her favorite Stover & Company line is our Eleven o’one European Deluxe, which she uses for dipping, drizzling, & her signature cake drips.

PRO TIP: Katrinna swears by a perfectly balanced white chocolate coating recipe mixing 9 oz of Eleven o’one White Deluxe with 4 oz of our Sweet Shoppe Ultra White Melting Wafers to create the perfect consistency for her treats! 

A Sweet Team Connection
In sweet serendipity, Katrinna first discovered Stover & Company through fellow Sweet Team member Christine of Cake Pop Box. After hearing Christine rave about our Eleven o’one products, Katrinna ordered a bag & was hooked! Our in-house brands of chocolate flavored melting wafers have now become a staple in her pantry. 

Advice for Aspiring Treat Makers
For those just starting their baking journey, Katrinna offers this golden nugget of advice: “Don’t rush out buying everything you ‘think you need.’ Most times, half of that stuff will never be used! Instead, focus on mastering your craft & have fun with it.”

Her number one tip?
“Quality chocolate makes treat-making easier.”

We are so excited to have Katrinna join our  Sweet Team & can’t wait to see the incredible creations she will continue to create. Be sure to follow her on social media & visit her website to check out her sweet masterpieces!

Few desserts are as iconic as red velvet cake! With its signature deep red hue & soft, velvety crumb, this cake is a showstopper for any occasion! Thanks to Brittany at Sugar Cove Sweets, we’ve combined forces to put a spin on this classic cake!

Introducing the red velvet bundt cake topped with a sweet cream cheese glaze! We’ve paired Brittany’s classic Red Velvet Cake Recipe with our  Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers to create this delicious masterpiece perfect for any occasion!

This recipe takes a classic boxed red velvet cake mix & elevates it to new heights with added ingredients! So grab your bundt cake pan, your whisk, & your Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers & let's get started! 

Red Velvet Cake

• 1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix

• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar 7 oz

• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour 5 oz

• 1/2 Tsp Salt

• 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

• 3 Eggs Room Temperature

• 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (melted) 113 grams

• 1 Cup Sour Cream 8 oz

• 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil 2 oz

• 1 Cup Milk 8 oz

• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 345°F. Prepare bundt cake pan with baking spray or a homemade pan release. 

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter in 15-30 second intervals until completely melted. Set aside until ready to incorporate into your recipe.

3. Measure sour cream & milk into a small, microwave-safe bowl. If not already at room temperature, microwave for 30 seconds to bring to room temperature then set aside.

4. Crack room temperature eggs into a separate bowl & set aside. 

5. Add flour, sugar, red velvet cake mix, cocoa powder, & salt to a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk or spoon to gently combine the ingredients until they are evenly distributed.

6. Combine all ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Don't forget to add the vegetable oil & vanilla extract!

7. Mix ingredients together with an electric hand mixer, starting on low & increasing speed to med-high. Scraping bowl periodically to make sure all ingredients are incorporating & not stuck on the bottom. Mix until batter is smooth & fluffy, about 1-2 minutes!

8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt cake pan. 

9. Bake for 28-34 min depending on your oven. Use a toothpick or knife & insert into the center of the cake – if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s good to go. You can also gently press your finger into the top of the cake, if it springs back slowly, it’s done!

10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Cream Cheese Glaze Recipe

Perfect for drizzling over cakes, bundt cakes, cinnamon rolls, & even cookies!

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar

• 2-3 tbsp milk or cream

• ½ cup Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers (melted)

Instructions:

1. Melt the Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.

2. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar & 2 tbsp of milk or cream until combined.

3. Stir in the melted wafers, mixing until smooth. If needed, add an extra tablespoon of milk for a thinner consistency.

4. Drizzle over your cooled red velvet cake & enjoy!

Brittany’s Pro Tip:

• Keep in mind, all ovens bake differently so an oven thermometer is highly recommended.

This cream cheese glaze provides a silky, creamy finish that enhances the rich flavors of the cake without overpowering it. Whether you’re a home baker or a professional, our Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers make it easy to create confections that taste just like traditional cream cheese frosting—without the hassle!

We’ve whipped up something special & it’s finally here! Introducing Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers! This highly requested flavor is ready to transform your confections with a rich creamy cream cheese flavor.

What makes our new Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers so special?

These melting wafers are slightly softer than our original formula while still delivering the perfect full, even coating & silky-smooth finish you’re used to. The flavor? These melting wafers taste just like your favorite cream cheese frosting; creamy, tangy & oh-so-delicious! 

Plus these flavored melting wafers are extremely versatile! Use them for: 

• Dipped Treats: Melt them down & dip fruits, pretzels, cookies or cake pops!
• Frostings & Ganaches: Melt & blend into your favorite buttercream, ganache or glaze recipe for an elevated flavor profile.
• Baked goods: The smaller wafer size allows you to easily fold them into batters for brownies, cookies, blondies, or cakes to add a burst of cream cheese flavor!
• Flavor Combos: Mix them with other Sweet Shoppe Flavored Melting Wafers to create something truly unique! For example, blend them with our Pumpkin Spice Flavored Melting Wafers to create a Pumpkin Cheesecake Flavor! What combinations will you dream up?

Pro Tips for Using Cream Cheese Melting Wafers

Due to a slight tweak in the formulation, these wafers are softer to the touch & require extra care during dipping. The change allows us to capture the signature cream cheese flavor but result in a longer drying time. Here’s how to handle them like a pro:

• Work in a cooler environment. (60-65°F)
• Use a fan to speed up the drying process.
• For the best results, pop your dipped treats in the freezer for 2-3 minutes. Don’t leave them for more than 5 minutes to avoid condensation & cracking. 

A Game- Changer for Cottage Bakers

If you’re a cottage baker in a state where cream cheese is restricted in baked goods, we’ve got your back! Swap out traditional cream cheese with our Cream Cheese Flavored Melting Wafers for a compliant (& delicious) alternative!

We can’t wait to see what you’ll whip up with this exciting new flavor. Tag us on social media or share your photos in our Stover’s Confection Connection Facebook Group. We’d love to showcase your sweet treats!

Dear Valued Customer,

As a trusted partner in your business, we want to share an important update regarding upcoming pricing changes for chocolate & compound products.

The global chocolate market has reached its highest peak in over 50 years, influenced by ever-changing conditions, including supply chain disruptions & the rising cost of ingredients like palm oil & cacao. Stover & Company has worked hard to absorb these increases wherever possible. However, after careful consideration, we must make adjustments to ensure we can continue to provide the quality products & service you rely on. 

Starting in early 2025, you may notice a modest price increase on certain chocolate & compound coating products such as Merckens, Callebaut, Peter’s & even our very own Sweet Shoppe line. 

While we’re able to keep these price increases to just a few cents per pound at this time, we want to provide advance notice so you have time to plan & make any necessary purchases before the changes take effect.

Your support & partnership mean the world to us. It’s a privilege to serve your business, & we remain dedicated to providing the best products & service, even in challenging times as we navigate these changes to the cacao & palm oil markets.

Thank you for your understanding & continued support of our family owned & operated business. Please contact our customer service team if you have any further questions. 

Sincerely,

The Stover Family
