The Krause’s Chocolates Hand Dipping Process
The hand-dipping process is one of Krause’s Chocolates’ unique qualities. The centers of each candy are handmade in a copper cooking pot. Afterward, they are transferred to a cream beater and pressed by hand in an antique candy press. The candy is then ready to be covered in the highest-quality chocolate. Each center is dropped by hand into a dipping pot and scooped out by the “dipper” using hand-crafted tools such as scoops, loops, or forks, depending on the shape of the center.
The temperature of the chocolate is continuously monitored to ensure a thick, lustrous coating on every piece. After dipping, the candies are placed in individual color-coded paper cups for easy identification. Full trays of warm candies are then slid into temperature-controlled cooling tunnels. Once they emerge from the tunnel, they are unique, individual chocolates ready for hand packing. The unmatched quality of Krause’s Chocolates makes them highly sought after, and the freshness is always guaranteed.”
