Shipping
How do you keep chocolate from melting when you ship it in the summer?
Every order ships in insulated packaging with frozen ice packs included free, and during summer we only offer shipping speeds that arrive within 2 days — so your chocolate never sits in the heat.
Where does The Sweet Tooth ship?
The Sweet Tooth ships to all 50 states from our North Miami Beach chocolate factory. You choose your delivery speed at checkout — including next-day shipping — and orders placed before 2 PM EST can ship the same day. And if your recipient is in South Florida, within 50 miles of our store, we offer hand delivery through our own local delivery team.
Local Delivery & Pickup
Can I get a chocolate gift delivered the same day in Miami?
Yes — order by 2 PM EST and our own delivery team brings your gift the same day across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Same-day delivery runs Monday through Friday and on Sundays.
Can I request a delivery time?
Yes — you can request delivery before or after a certain time when you place your order, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. We can't promise an exact time like 3:00 PM: our drivers cover a large area across South Florida, and timing depends on the day's route and traffic. If no time is requested, your gift can arrive any time during the delivery day. The earlier you let us know, the better the chance we can work it in — and for time-sensitive requests on delivery day, you can text or call our delivery manager Katie directly at 305-994-4070.
Do you deliver on Sundays?
Yes — Sunday delivery is available across our local delivery area. Order by 2 PM for same-day Sunday delivery, or schedule your Sunday delivery in advance when you place your order.
Can I pick up my order at the store instead?
Of course — pickup is easy and free. Choose “Store Pickup” and your pickup day at checkout, and your order will be ready and waiting at 18435 NE 19th Ave, North Miami Beach. We're here from 10:00 to 5:00.
Freshness & Storage
How long do handmade chocolates stay fresh?
Chocolate-dipped Oreos and pretzels stay fresh 2–3 weeks, and Dubai Chocolate about 2 weeks. Candy apples are made with fresh fruit, and anything perishable is at its very best the sooner you enjoy it — they'll keep for 2–3 days, but for the best experience, dig in the day they arrive. Keep everything in a cool, dry spot.
How long do chocolate truffles stay fresh?
Freshly crafted truffles made with a traditional dairy ganache stay fresh for 2–3 weeks. Because premium ganache relies on fresh ingredients rather than heavy preservatives, keep truffles in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot away from strong odors, and serve them at room temperature so the centers keep their melt-in-your-mouth texture.
What's the best way to store chocolate?
Chocolate is happiest in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight — room temperature up to 73°F is perfect, no refrigerator needed. A pantry or cupboard is all it takes.
Kosher & Dietary
Are your chocolates certified kosher?
Yes — every product we make is certified by Kosher Miami, and the factory has operated under strict rabbinical supervision since 1979, with a mashgiach overseeing production. Dairy and parve production are kept fully separate.
What does parve mean, and are your parve chocolates really dairy-free?
Parve means made with no meat and no dairy — under kosher dietary law, parve chocolate may be eaten after any meal, including a meat meal. We treat that standard with absolute seriousness. Our parve chocolates are produced in a dedicated parve room, on equipment that never touches dairy, under the supervision of a mashgiach who inspects the facility multiple times each week. Every product we make is stickered Dairy or Parve, and every basket is tagged the same way — so an observant family knows exactly what they're receiving.
How do I know which chocolates are dairy and which are parve?
You'll never have to guess — every single product we make carries a sticker, no exceptions, marked either Dairy or Parve, and every basket is tagged the same way. We operate under strict kosher certification guidelines with zero gray area: dairy and parve are made in separate rooms and never combined in the same gift. Our Pecan Pralines, Mucho Gusto Munch, Dubai Chocolate Gold Bars, brownies, and all of our cookies are dairy and can't be made parve.
Do you have vegan chocolate?
Yes — we carry vegan options, including our gluten-free and vegan Dubai chocolate bar, and every vegan item is clearly labeled. Ask when you order and we'll walk you through the current vegan lineup.
Do you have gluten-free chocolate?
Yes — gluten-free is one of our specialties, made in a completely separate room with extra care taken at every step. The lineup runs deep: gluten-free chocolate-dipped Oreos, gluten-free chocolate-dipped pretzels, gluten-free Rice Krispie treats, gluten-free pecan pralines, and a gluten-free Dubai chocolate bar — and most of our truffles are naturally gluten-free. Browse the full gluten-free collection. One honest note: we're not a certified gluten-free facility, so trace cross-contamination is always possible — if you have celiac disease, we recommend against it.
Do you sell sugar-free chocolate?
Yes — and it's surprising how delicious our sugar-free chocolate is. Most customers tell us they can't taste the difference from regular. We make it in two varieties: sugar-free milk chocolate pieces and sugar-free milk chocolate cashew.
Custom & Corporate
Can you put our company logo on chocolate?
Yes — we print logos, photos, and custom designs on chocolate bars, chocolate-dipped Oreos, chocolate business cards, and pretzels. Custom logo bars start at 25 pieces, and custom logo Oreos start with our 12-pack custom Oreo box. Popular for corporate gifts, weddings, and bar/bat mitzvahs.
Can you ship corporate gifts to multiple addresses?
Yes — corporate orders ship nationwide to as many recipients as you need, each with its own packing slip and gift message. We regularly handle recipient lists of 500 and more. Email orders@thesweettooth.com to set it up.
Do you do private label or wholesale chocolate?
Yes — private label is one of our specialties. Chocolate made in our factory is sold in 23 countries and in duty-free stores around the world, where it's featured as the top-level premium brand. Email info@thesweettooth.com to start your private label or wholesale program.
Do you make favors for weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs?
Yes — custom favors, dessert tables, and candy displays are a specialty, from monogrammed truffles to custom Dubai bars and dipped treats. For events, plan several weeks ahead so there's time for design approval and production.
Visiting & Gifting
Where is The Sweet Tooth located — can I just walk in?
Yes — walk-ins are always welcome at 18435 NE 19th Ave, North Miami Beach, FL 33179, five minutes from Aventura Mall with free parking out front.

We love when you stop by to say hi; we're very proud of how fresh and delicious our chocolate is. And for a truly unique custom gift, sit down with one of our gifting specialists — most have more than 20 years of experience, with thousands of molds to bring your idea to life.
Is a gift message card included with my order?
Yes — a free premium 5×8-inch gift message card is attached to the outside of every basket. Type your note in the gift message box at checkout and we print it on the card, whether the gift is delivered across Miami or shipped across the country.
What sizes do your gift baskets come in?
Build-your-own gift baskets come in 8 sizes, from the Small Round to the Supreme. Need something bigger, smaller, or anywhere in between? Contact us and we'll make it happen. Every basket ships or delivers gift-ready with ribbons, wrapping, and your message card.
