The majority of business is around three holidays — Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter,” she says. At Josh Early those seasonal changes signal a shift in shape and decoration. Their traditional handmade peanut butter creams and other specialty chocolates get shaped into eggs and decorated for the Easter season, the nonpareils get a dip in a pastel blend of sprinkles and both solid and hollow chocolates get a seasonal foilwrap for the holidays. But once the calendar page flips, they’re stuck. “We don’t use preservatives so it doesn’t have a shelf life,” she adds. Each year is a guessing game. Medero says some years they’ll keep the candy for about a week after the holiday, discounting the products. Five or six years ago, they had a surplus of Easter baskets after the holiday, so they donated 60 to a church group in Allentown. Ann McManus, director of the Second Harvest Food Bank in Allentown, says they often see donations of holiday items coming in after the holiday.
