What Recipes Can I Make with Fannie May Chocolate?

Updated

Fannie May's website includes a Recipe Box with chocolate recipes you can follow at home, and the published examples cover three formats: dark chocolate truffles, deluxe hot chocolate, and mint meltaway mini donuts. Each recipe lists an estimated time and a yield, so you can judge the commitment before starting. The Recipe Box is a content section of fanniemay.com rather than a product listing, so treat the recipes as inspiration and check the site for the full method and ingredient quantities.

What the Recipe Box Includes

The site's Recipe Box presents "classic treats to new favorites" and shows a time and yield for each entry:

Recipe Time Yield
Dark Chocolate Truffles 2h 45min 18 truffles
Deluxe Hot Chocolate 20min 10 oz
Mint Meltaway Mini Donuts 18–20min 8 donuts

These three examples show the range: a hands-on confection project, a quick drink, and a baked treat that uses a Fannie May product as the flavor element. The site also links to a full recipe index ("View all recipes"), which is where additional entries would appear.

How to Choose a Recipe for Your Situation

The time and yield columns are the most practical way to pick:

  • Short on time or cooking with kids: Deluxe Hot Chocolate at 20 minutes for 10 oz is the lowest-effort option and scales easily for a group.
  • A weekend project or homemade gift: Dark Chocolate Truffles take about 2 hours 45 minutes and yield 18 pieces — a batch size that works for sharing.
  • A dessert that features a specific Fannie May candy: Mint Meltaway Mini Donuts (18–20 minutes, 8 donuts) is the example of building a recipe around a signature product rather than plain chocolate.

If you already know which chocolates you like, the truffle and donut recipes are the ones that most directly turn a Fannie May product into a finished dessert.

What to Confirm Before You Start

The site excerpt shows recipe names, times, and yields but not full ingredient lists or step-by-step instructions. Before shopping or preheating, open the individual recipe page to confirm:

  1. Exact ingredients and quantities — including which Fannie May product the recipe calls for, if any.
  2. Equipment — truffles and donuts typically need different tools (a double boiler or melting setup versus a donut pan).
  3. Chilling or resting time — the listed time may or may not include cooling, so check whether the total is active or elapsed time.

Where to Find the Recipes and the Chocolates

Start at the Recipe Box section of fanniemay.com and open "View all recipes" for the full list. If a recipe calls for a specific Fannie May chocolate, the same site sells the products directly — the 1lb Signature Wraps (Heritage Collection, Milk Chocolate Pixies, Trinidads, Assorted Chocolate, Mint Meltaways, and the vanilla buttercreams) are listed at $29.99, and a 2lb Custom Mix box at $71.99. The site also has a store locator if you prefer to buy in person. Prices shown are those listed on the site at the time of writing and may change with promotions — the site was running a National Chocolate Day sale for October 28–31.
