stuff like truffles doesn't keep for long BUT toffee and fudge
SHOULD if kept in an airtight tin/jar
Tablet probably would too...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Tablet keeps ok in greaseproof paper in a jar... but it's stuff like Fifteens and shortbread I'm not sure about0

You'd probably be ok with shortbread for a couple of weeks.
One word of warning - though I accept I am probably preaching to the converted IYSWIM.
DON'T use sell by dates for commercially produced stuff as a guide...they use preservatives in many products to artificially extend the shelf life!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
