Easter has been there, and it's the return of chocolates in the cupboards.
We can bet it:the bells have been very generous with the children (and maybe with you too!).
And unless you risk indigestion, your stock of chocolate has grown considerably.
Rest assured ! You won't have to pounce on the chocolates to eat them quickly. Chocolate is one of those products that keep very well. Too bad for the gourmands!
By the way, do you know how and how long to keep chocolates?
The basic rule for storing chocolates correctly is to store them in a cool, dry place, away from light .
This small precaution will prevent a white film from forming on the surface of the chocolate. It is harmless, but quite unsightly when you want to serve its delicacies to your guests.
From there, you can keep all your "basic" chocolates (without cream or special filling) for many months.
Those filled with cream or milk generally support one year of conservation, not more .
In any case, keep in mind that chocolate is one of those products that has an optimal use-by date and not an expiry date.
In concrete terms, the manufacturer does not guarantee that the product will retain all its taste properties, but you run no risk to consume it beyond the date indicated.
So nothing prevents you from cooking all your leftover chocolates to delight young and old once the Easter holidays are over!
