We know how much YOU love our chocolate & melting wafers! Sometimes you love it so much that our inventory depletes faster than we can keep up with! While our production team works hard to keep up with demand & prevent sellouts, sometimes it can take us a little while to recover from times of high demand, especially during busy seasons.
Sellouts & Restocks:
If you’ve ever clicked on a product & seen that dreaded “Out of Stock” notice, here’s what to know:
As a local distributor, we service many regional bakeries (in the Pittsburgh & Cleveland areas) via weekly deliveries, so some items like frozen goods or specific packaging are only available for local delivery or customer pickup, which is why they are listed as out of stock online. That said, this usually doesn’t apply to our chocolate & compound coating items.
As for items that are truly out of stock, we always recommend signing up for a Restock Notification!
Important Update: RE: Merckens: Heads up! Cargill has shorted our upcoming Merckens order. What does that mean for you? A very limited restock is not expected until 2026. If you need melting wafers sooner, we recommend trying Sweet Shoppe wafers as an alternative, otherwise please sign up for a restock notification.
Discontiued Products:
Our website team is currently working to remove discontinued items from our online catalog to make shopping easier for YOU! Over the next few weeks, if you can no longer find a product on our site, that likely means it has been discontinued. If that happens, please reach out to our customer service team for advice on finding a replacement item. We’re always happy to help you track down the next best thing!

As summer winds down, it’s important to remember that warm temperatures still pose a risk for chocolate, caramel & coating products in transit. That’s why we always highly recommend adding our Protective Cold Packaging to your orders year round!
Insulation & Ice Packs:
Our cold packaging add-on includes insulated panels & ice packs to help create a cooler environment during transit. While these added reinforcements helps provide the best chance for your order to arrive unmelted, it’s important to remember that cold packaging is not a guarantee* against melting. Once your package leaves our facility, it may be exposed to conditions beyond our control, such as high temperatures, carrier delays & extended transit times.
That’s why we offer cold packaging year round — to help protect sensitive products like chocolate, caramel & coatings from temperature swings in transit. If the ice packs arrive melted by the time your package arrives, rest assured knowing that they’ve already done their job by helping lower the internal temperature of your package during shipment!
*Please note: Stover & Company does not offer refunds or replacements for products that melt during shipping, with or without cold packaging. Please consider this carefully before placing your order.
How much do I need?
Our system automatically calculates the appropriate amount of cold packaging needed based on the total weight of chocolate & caramel products in your shopping cart, so there’s no guesswork required!
Plan ahead for Delivery Days:
Once your package leaves our facility, it may be exposed to extreme conditions we can’t control, including temperatures over 100°F in some shipping facilities. Please note, our cold packaging add-on is designed to handle temperatures between 80–90°F for up to 72 hours, but after that, the risk of melting increases significantly.

What If My Chocolate Melts in Transit?
The good news — melted compounds & chocolate are still perfectly usable! Even if your chocolate arrives soft, misshapen or fully melted, it hasn’t gone bad. Most compound products are not perishable, so a little heat doesn’t spoil them, it simply changes their form. While your order may arrive soft, stuck together, or misshapen, it’s still completely safe to use & will perform just as intended once remelted.
If your chocolate does melt in transit, here’s what we always recommend:

We all know that Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers are perfect for dipping, drizzling, & molding, but did you know you can use our melting wafers to make truffles, ganache, & more?
These No-Bake Cheesecake Truffle Bites (without cream cheese!) are rich, creamy, & taste just like classic cheesecake frosting, without the effort. With the smooth texture & slightly softer set of our Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers, this recipe is perfect for cottage bakers who are unable to use cream cheese in their treats or home bakers looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing summer snack.
Whether you serve them at a summer picnic or keep them chilled for snacking while you work from home, these cheesecake truffle bites are a simple way to impress with minimal effort.
No-Bake Cheesecake Truffle Bites
Ingredients:
1 bag (2 lbs) Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers
½ cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla sandwich cookies
Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt
Parchment paper & baking sheet
Instructions:
Melt the full 2 lb bag of Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
If desired, stir in up to ½ cup of crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for a little added crunch & flavor.
Let the mixture cool slightly (about 3–5 minutes), then scoop into small mounds using a cookie scoop or spoon. Drop each one onto a parchment-lined tray.
Place the tray in the fridge or freezer for 5–10 minutes to help them set. These wafers have a softer set, so chilling helps them hold their shape while staying creamy inside.
Optional: Drizzle with extra melted wafers or top with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt for a decorative finish.
Why Use Sweet Shoppe Cream Cheese Melting Wafers?
Unlike traditional white chocolate or candy coatings, our Cream Cheese Melting Wafers offer a smooth, slightly tangy flavor that mimics classic cream cheese frosting—no tempering needed! This unique formula has a softer finish, making it ideal for creamy no-bake treats, dessert fillings, & cheesecake-inspired creations.
With just one bag, you can create dozens of rich, flavorful bites that look impressive & taste even better.

Warm weather & sweet treats don’t always mix. As temperatures rise, so does the risk of melting during transit, especially for chocolate, caramel & coating products. That’s why we highly recommend* adding our Protective Cold Packaging to your summer orders!
Our cold packaging add on includes insulated panels & ice packs to help create a cooler environment during transit. While it's important to remember that no solution is completely melt proof, this added layer of protection gives your order the best possible chance of arriving in top shape, even if the ice packs are melted by the time your package arrives.
We offer cold packaging year round & our system automatically calculates the appropriate amount based on your cart’s chocolate & caramel weight. No guesswork required!
Pro Tip: If your area regularly reaches 75°F or higher, we strongly recommend selecting cold packaging during checkout!
Plan Ahead for Delivery Days
Once your package leaves our facility, it may be exposed to extreme conditions we can’t control, including heat over 100°F in some areas. Our packaging is designed to handle temperatures between 80–90°F for up to 72 hours, but after that, the risk of melting increases significantly.
To keep your order in the best condition possible:
Select Express Shipping to reduce time in transit
Be ready to bring your package inside immediately
Store it in a cool, temperature controlled environment
Avoid leaving it outside or in direct sunlight
Please note: Stover & Company cannot be responsible for packages left unattended in hot conditions, or orders that melt in transit.
What If My Chocolate Melts in Transit?
Good news — melted compounds & chocolate are still perfectly usable! Even if your chocolate or compound arrives a little soft or fully melted, it hasn’t gone bad. Most compound products are not perishable, so a little heat won’t spoil them, it simply changes it's form. So while they may arrive soft, stuck together, or misshapen, they are still completely safe to use & will perform just as intended once remelted.
If your chocolate does melt in transit, here’s what we always recommend: Pour the melted chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper, spread it out evenly, let it cool & set, then break it up into bark size pieces & store it like normal. Once it solidifies, you can use it just as you would any other chocolate — for melting, baking, dipping, or decorating.
A little melt doesn’t mean your order is ruined — just give it a little time to reset & you’ll be good to go!
*Please note we do not offer refunds or replacements for products that melt during shipping, with or without the cold packaging, so please consider this before placing your order.
PRO TIP: The best way to beat summer heat? Stock up early! Place your orders in the spring—before the temps begin to rise!
