Look for the red box

Our retail pączki come four to a box, in the deep red carton with the windmill and the words THE REAL PĄCZKI across the front. The window on the lid is there for a reason: what you see is what you get, and there is nothing on the label you would not recognise from a home kitchen.

Each box is baked, filled and packed at our production bakery in Elk Grove Village, then delivered to the store. No central warehouse, no long haul, no thawing and re-boxing along the way.

What is in the four pack

Raspberry, Bavarian Cream, Chocolate Bavarian Cream and Cream Cheese travel best and are the ones you will usually find in store. Seasonal fillings appear in the run up to Pączki Day.

Freeze, do not refrigerate

Freeze, do not refrigerate

This is the one thing worth knowing about pączki at home. A fridge dries the dough out and turns it stale within a day. A freezer does not.

  • Same day. Leave the box on the counter and eat them at room temperature.
  • Longer than that. Freeze them straight in the box, then let them thaw at room temperature.
  • Even better. A few seconds in the toaster brings a thawed pączek back to life.

Allergens

Produced in a plant that uses wheat, soy, dairy and tree nuts. Made with sourdough. Full ingredient and nutrition panels are printed on every box.
