Kermit's pies are made with Kermit's DOUBLE-STRENGTH key lime juice, resulting in a much richer pie with a very tart (the way it's supposed to be!) flavor.  Our pies are baked and flash-frozen for maximum freshness when they get to your door.  

Your Kermit's pie will arrive frozen or at least still cold. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 60 days (provided that your freezer maintains a constant temperature and your teenagers don't stand there with the door open for hours on end.)  

Remove your pie from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to thaw.  Thawed pie can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.  

The cost of a pie in the store is simply that, just a pie.  When you place an order to be shipped, your pie must be hand-packed in a custom-molded shipping container, which then is placed in a custom-sized moisture-proof box, packed with gel packs and several lbs of dry ice (which incurs an hazmat fee with the shipping carrier) prior to shipment, all to get your pie to you in perfect condition.  

No, our pies do not contain nuts, however they are produced in a kitchen where products containing nuts (peanuts, pecans) may also be produced. We actively take proper precautions to prevent cross-contamination, however, please be aware that nut-containing products are present in our kitchen environment.  

No.  Kermit's Key Lime Pies are made with egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk. There is not a suitable substitute for either of these items that will produce a key lime pie worthy to be called "Kermit's."  

Our Kermit's manufacturing kitchen is not certified as a kosher kitchen.  

Of course we do! Pies are shipped everywhere within the Continental US via FedEx Overnight. Pies are only shipped Monday-Thursday, for overnight delivery on Tuesday through Friday. Orders must be placed by 2PM Key West time for same-day shipping. Orders placed after 2PM Key West time will ship on the next available shipping day. 

Tracking information will not be received until the label for your order is printed. If you ordered pie or pie bars with a future ship date, your label will NOT print until the day that it is scheduled to leave our warehouse. 

Product costs on our website do not include shipping charges.

If you have chosen a future ship date for your pie or pie bars, please note that because our software provider is Canadian, it formats the date in the standard Canadian format, with the day appearing BEFORE the month.  If you chose the correct month in the dropdown menu, you are fine, and your order WILL ship on the appropriate day.  

All damages or missing items must be reported to us within 72 hours of receipt in order to receive proper credit. Please respond to the confirmation email that you received when your package was shipped, or drop us a line at [email protected].   

If an item is damaged in shipment, please include photo documentation in your email so that we can file a claim with the carrier.  

If you mistakenly ordered frozen and non-frozen items on the same order, your non-frozen items will be credited back you your card and you will need to re-order. Due to the damaging nature of dry ice on non-frozen packaging, we can NOT ship frozen and non-frozen items in the same order.  Please read pie/pie bar ordering instructions carefully for complete ordering information

Several people seem to have had a good idea all around the same time... we don't pretend that we were the only ones to come up with this idea... we just have had the most success with it, hand-dipping hundreds of thousands of pie bars a year.
