I'm not a big chocolate box fan but I'd have them open, nibble a few and if they taste and smell fine. Scoff them - free chocs are not to sniffed at!

Very money saving :money:

My Auntie loved her chocolate, she used to buy it by the carrier bag full from a seller on the market who sold it cheap... all months out of date.

I had a Christmas pudding with a 2013 date with rum butter with a 2010 date the other night, and I'm still alive, and wasn't even slightly ill. I've got another pudding from 2009 that I might have for supper, now you've reminded me.

No worries, my daughter worked for a certain high street choclatier and she told me that chocolate is still good for eight weeks past the sell by date. The only thing you might find is a bloom on the chocolate where the cocoa solids start to seperate

Yeah definitely eat it. I recently went to a chocolate making demo on a trip to Belgium and he said that if the choc goes white as it's ood, it's still absolutely fine to eat. If you would prefer it didn't have that white sheen though, use your hairdryer to blow warm air at them for a minute or so and it'll go and they'll look perfect again!

I've spoken to people who are in the food industry, at both ends: a couple who sell home-made preserves and another who is in the wholesale food import business. Both say that dates are set by regulation rather than science. When it comes to processed foods like chocolate and preserves, the dates don't really reflect what happens to the product itself. This time last year I found a couple of unopened packs of biscuits dated BB sometime in 2010 at the back of a cupboard. I was going to bin them but my Christmas guests started to eat them while I was looking for something. I told them they were 4 years out of date. They stayed here a few days and everyone was fine and pigging out the day after.:xmastree:
