FAQS
What is Candy Deluxe?

Candy Deluxe is a candy bar for grown-up taste buds. We use deep dark chocolate and brown sugar caramel, and dial down the sweetness so the real flavors can shine. It’s real flavor, less sweetness, and all the thrill of a legit candy bar.

Why did you create Candy Deluxe?

Because we grew up, but we never stopped wanting a great candy bar. Our tastes changed, and candy bars mostly didn’t. Traditional candy had gotten too sweet and artificial-tasting for us, while better-for-you candy seemed more focused on macros than making a great candy bar. So we made the candy bar we actually wanted to eat now. As it turns out, we didn’t outgrow candy bars. We just outgrew the old ones.

How is Candy Deluxe different from other candy bars?

We start with real flavor instead of trying to make candy as sweet and cheap as possible. We use deep dark chocolate, brown sugar caramel, and ingredients like peanuts, coconut, cinnamon, and peppermint. Then we dial down the sweetness so you can actually taste them. It’s still a candy bar. We just have a different idea about what a candy bar should taste like.

Do you use any fake flavors or sweeteners?

Nope. Candy Deluxe is about real flavor, so we use real sugar and get our flavors from the actual ingredients—not sugar substitutes, natural flavors, or artificial flavors.

Does Candy Deluxe contain real sugar? How much?

Yep. Real sugar. We just don’t use as much of it. Candy Deluxe has around half the sugar of traditional candy bars ounce for ounce. Not because we’re playing nutrition games. We just don’t want sweetness overpowering the real flavors.

Are the candy bars actually “Gigantic” in size?

Nope. They’re Mini Deluxe—about the size of a single Kit Kat stick. Gigantic isn’t about the size of the bar. It’s about what it delivers. A perfect little candy bar can be a pretty massive thrill.

Why does Candy Deluxe cost more than other candy bars?

Because we make different choices. Deep dark chocolate costs more. Real flavor costs more than faking it. And making candy at our scale costs more. We could make it cheaper by making it more like everything else, but then it wouldn’t be Candy Deluxe.

Where do you ship?

For now, the continental U.S. We’d love to send Candy Deluxe everywhere, but international chocolate shipping is its own special kind of nightmare.

Will Candy Deluxe melt during summer shipping?

We do everything we can to keep that from happening. During the summer, we ship with insulation and frozen gel packs. But it’s still chocolate, and our boxes aren’t built by NASA. Bring your package inside as soon as you can. If a delayed shipment arrives melted, email us at hello@giganticcandy.com and we’ll make it right.

Why does my chocolate look a little white or dusty?

During warmer months, real dark chocolate can develop a slightly white, dusty, or matte appearance as temperatures change during shipping. It’s called cocoa bloom, a natural, cosmetic change caused by some of the cocoa butter coming to the surface. It’s completely harmless and doesn’t affect the flavor or freshness of your Candy Deluxe.

How should I store Candy Deluxe?

Somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. If your place is regularly above 72°F, the fridge or freezer works too. Just let the bars come back to room temp before eating so the flavors and textures are at their best.

What’s your return policy?

Candy Deluxe is perishable, so we don’t accept returns. But if something went wrong with your order, email us at hello@giganticcandy.com and we’ll make it right.
