Why is my shopping basket still empty after I added an item?
It sounds like your browser isn't accepting or supporting ‘cookies’ used by DwarfMountain.com to create your shopping basket. Netscape 3.0 (and higher) and Internet Explorer 3.0 (and higher) both support cookie technology, but if your browser asks you whether or not to accept a cookie from the DwarfMountain.com, you will still need to answer "yes" in order for it to work. If you are using one of these browsers or a more recent version and it has not asked you about cookies or you answered yes and it still did not work, then the last possible fix is to try re-entering the website here. Sometimes, a cookie just doesn't get delivered properly the first time around. (We suspect it the Elves!) If you still have problems, use the ‘Contact the Dwarves’ link on our home page; give us your phone number and a time to call. Dwarven Customer Support will be glad to spring into action and assist you.
Can I send an order to more than one shipping address at a time?

How is Dwarf Mountain "crème de chocolat noir" (Dark Chocolate Cream) made?
Our dark chocolate confection is made with great care using natural and organic ingredients. We only use the highest quality and search around the world for the very best. Our "crème de chocolat noir" is unique and made from a secret recipe. Dwarf Mountain "Dark Chocolate Creams" are somewhere between a Ganache and pure dark chocolate. Technically our dark chocolate cream would be classified as fudge, however our cooking technique and process is a Dwarf Mountain secret. Our recipe is based on the ancient way fudge was made, using milk, butter, sugar and chocolate. We carried this a step further, creating a magical concoction of pure dark chocolate, heavy cream, butter, natural sweeteners and whole vanilla beans. We prefer the term 'dark chocolate cream.' We also specialize in using our rich dark chocolate cream as a medium to surround berries, fruits, nuts and/or natural flavors into exotic taste sensations. Our "crème de chocolat noir" is handcrafted in small batches, poured into truffle high sheets, hand cut and wrapped completely by dwarves hermetically sealed deep inside the mountain. No dwarves are harmed or mistreated during the production process.
