When you need birthday treats that fit the theme or the guest of honor's favorites, you want something more specific than what you find on a grocery store shelf. In Bettendorf, families and party planners order from Ultimate Chocolates when the birthday calls for chocolate covered strawberries, candy apples, or fudge that reflects a color scheme or flavor preference.

You can choose from 20 different flavors of fudge, order chocolate covered strawberries prepared the day of your event, or request candy apples customized with colors or toppings that match your party. The customization process starts with what you tell us about the birthday, from age and theme to dietary preferences and pickup timing.

If you are planning a birthday in Bettendorf and want chocolates prepared specifically for your event, reach out to discuss what you have in mind.

What Goes Into Your Birthday Order

What Goes Into Your Birthday Order

Once you place your order, we prepare your chocolates based on the flavors, quantities, and presentation details you provide. In Bettendorf, most birthday orders are scheduled for pickup one to two days before the party to keep strawberries fresh and fudge at its best texture.

After your order is ready, you will notice that the strawberries are fully coated and set, the candy apples are wrapped individually if requested, and the fudge is cut into uniform pieces that hold their shape on a platter. Each item is packaged to travel without smudging or shifting.

We do not provide delivery, so you will need to arrange pickup during business hours. If your party includes guests with allergies, let us know when you order so we can confirm which items are made in shared equipment and which flavors avoid common allergens.

Most people ordering birthday chocolates for the first time want to know how far in advance to place the order, what customization actually means, and how the items hold up during the party.

  • How far in advance should I place a birthday chocolate order?
    You should place your order at least three days before your party to allow time for preparation and any customization. If you need a large quantity or specific decorations, a week gives us more flexibility.
  • What does customization include for birthday orders?
    You can request specific fudge flavors from our list of 20, choose coating colors or drizzles for strawberries, and select toppings or colors for candy apples. We can also adjust packaging to fit your presentation needs.
  • How long do chocolate covered strawberries stay fresh?
    Chocolate covered strawberries stay fresh for one to two days when stored in the refrigerator. You should pick them up as close to your event as possible and keep them chilled until serving.
  • What flavors of fudge are available for birthdays?
    We offer 20 flavors including traditional chocolate, peanut butter, maple walnut, and seasonal varieties. When you call, we can confirm which flavors are currently available and suggest combinations that work well together.
  • Can I order a mix of strawberries, fudge, and candy apples?
    Yes, you can combine any of our items in a single order. Many birthday orders in Bettendorf include two or three types to give guests options.
