Why Choose J. Hungerford Smith Chocolate Enrober?
Engineered Instant-Set
Unlike standard syrups that run or drip, JHS Enrober hardens into a crisp shell on contact with frozen dairy. This "magic" effect is essential for authentic dipped cones and frozen novelties.
Superior Yield & Coverage
The high-fluidity formula is designed for thin, uniform coating. You get more dipped cones per pound than with competitors, directly improving your cost-per-serving and profit margins.
High-Gloss Professional Finish
JHS provides a brilliant, reflective chocolate sheen that signals "freshness" and "luxury" to your guests. It hides imperfections in the ice cream surface for a perfect presentation.
Clean Peeling & Snapping
This coating is formulated not to be waxy. It snaps cleanly when bitten, releasing the rich chocolate flavor instantly without sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Stable Dipping Viscosity
Whether held in a professional warmer or at ambient temperature, JHS resists clumping and separation, ensuring a consistent dipping experience from the first cone to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions — JHS Chocolate Enrober
Where can I buy J. Hungerford Smith Chocolate Enrober in Canada?
You can purchase individual #10 cans or full cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to restaurants and scoop shops across Western Canada with no membership fees required.
Do I need to heat this coating?
For the smoothest finish and optimal yield, we recommend warming the coating to approximately 32°C (90°F). It should be liquid and pourable. If it is too cold, the shell will be too thick; if it is too hot, it may melt the ice cream.
How many cones can I dip with a 6 lb. can?
Yield depends on the size of the cone and the thickness of the dip, but a single #10 can typically provides enough coating for 150 to 200 standard-sized dipped cones.
Is this the same as "Magic Shell"?
Yes, this is the professional-grade version of a "shell" topping. It uses coconut oil to allow it to harden instantly when chilled, unlike standard chocolate syrups which remain soft.
Can I dip room-temperature fruit in this?
The "shell" effect requires the product to be cold. If dipping fruit, ensure the fruit is thoroughly chilled or frozen first to achieve the immediate hardening effect.
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
Unopened, it is shelf-stable. After opening, store in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate opened enrober, as moisture from condensation can cause the chocolate to "seize" and become lumpy.
Is J. Hungerford Smith Enrober Coating Gluten-Free?
While made with gluten-free ingredients, always refer to the specific batch label for the most current allergen and facility information. It is certified OK Dairy Kosher.
