2023 Chocolate Trends

Posted by

Happy 2023 Lazar’s customers. We thank everyone for their support last year and look forward to a brand new year. 

Like always, a new year brings about different trends that everyone is eager to try, whether in fashion or fitness. And yes, there are even trends in foods. And because we specialize in chocolate, we’d like to discuss chocolate trends for 2023.

Some of these trends include, but aren’t limited to are:

Organic sugar: Organic sugar is familiar, as many people consume it, especially in baking and drinking. But now we are starting to see it used when making chocolate. Organic sugar is lower in fat and doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients that sweeteners have. 

Low-sugar products: Products that are lower in sugar are popular for those making dietary changes by consuming low-fat and carb products. Low-sugar products allow consumers to enjoy a treat without spoiling their diet. 

Plant-based and dairy-free chocolates: Plant-based diets have become popular for those who want to eat healthier while preserving animal welfare. That’s why chocolatiers are coming up with ways to create alternatives to milk chocolates for vegan chocolate lovers. 

Dark chocolate: With its added benefits, we are seeing more people consume it. Dark chocolate is known to lower blood pressure, improve brain function, reduce the risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol and much more. 

Transparency: When it comes to the cocoa bean trade, consumers want to know whether the workers collecting these beans are being treated fairly and equally. Consumers also want to know that the environment is protected during this process. That is why many companies talk about the importance of fair trade and advertise it on their products. 

These are just a few trends for 2023, and we will surely see more in the coming years. 

At Lazar’s, we will continue to provide our customers with our famous handmade chocolates with the quality they love and keep creating unique products for all celebrations. We have you covered whether it’s a religious holiday, birthday, shower, wedding, or more. 

Please keep your eyes open for what we have for Valentine’s Day and the following holidays. 

We hope you have a great 2023 and wish you all the best for this new year. Thank you again for supporting a family-run business.

How long does chocolate last?

Posted by

Chocolate is just one of the many ways to celebrate the holidays. And with many holidays each year, there are lots of chocolate left over. You probably still have chocolate from last year hiding in your pantry.

With that in mind, how long does chocolate last?

Chocolate doesn’t last forever, but it can stay edible for a while with proper storage. The type of chocolate also matters.

Dark chocolate can last two years from the date it was made if it’s never been opened and stored in a dark area such as a pantry. White and milk chocolate can be good for one year if left unopened and six to eight months if opened.

It’s important to remember that the expiration date doesn’t mean the product goes bad on that day. The date means you should eat the chocolate before that day to get the best flavor.

Chocolate should be consumed as soon as possible, but eating it a few months after the posted expiry date will not hurt anything. Some chocolate even tastes better if left to age.

You can store chocolate in the freezer to help it last longer, just as long as you take the proper steps to avoid blooming.

Blooming happens when chocolate’s temperature changes dramatically.

There are two types of bloom, sugar and fat. Sugar blooming happens when water gets into the chocolate or is exposed to humidity. Sugar bloom appears as a white coat on the chocolate.

Fat bloom looks like lighter spots on the chocolate, and this happens because the cocoa butter has separated from the other ingredients. Temperature fluctuations are the leading cause of this type of chocolate bloom.

You can avoid chocolate bloom by preventing temperature changes. If you stored chocolate in the freezer and want to use it, allow it to sit in the fridge for a few hours before letting it sit on the counter or in storage.

So, how can you tell if chocolate is gone sour? The best way is to smell and taste. If you smell or taste something other than chocolate, it’s best to throw it away and buy fresh.

If you don’t want to store leftover chocolate, there are many things you can do with it. Melt it down and use it for chocolate-covered fruits. Use it as frosting and much more. You can use it in cakes, brownies and cookies.
