Super deal - think if anyone has children that have birthday parties coming up this year, take them out of the tin, the sweets will be fine for months after March

Do-more

If you have a big freezer you could always chuck them in it there, just remember to de-frost them in time!

Are they all ok when they are defrosted or do some suffer?

Just take them out of the tin and put them into a sealed plastic bag with as little air in it as possible and they should be fine.

I'd sooner have ones out of date than frozen & defrosted ones TBH. Would the liquid centre ones not risk exploding?

Its only a best before date, not a use buy. Store your tins in a cool place, when calculating these best befores they have to take into account bad scenarios, like the possibility of the tin sitting at 28C under hot lights in a supermarket for months. Its not like they will magically turn toxic or nasty taking on the 1st of april.

Is that a joke or are you being serious?

You eat sweets for enjoyment/taste.

Whilst freezing them will ensure there is nothing "wrong" with them when they are defrosted, I would be very wary about impairments of taste.

I would have no problems eating out of date chocolate, so long as it's not years out of date!

I know relatives who still serve up tins of these sweets from the previous Xmas.

You can definitely taste it.

My Mother is the Queen of 'Out of Date' sweets. My Kids wont touch any loose sweets in her fridge because we don't know what era they are from and the taste gross. (they also go a very funny colour)

What the hell are you talking about?

I was refering to the question of whether the soft centers would cause the sweets to explode in the freezer.

Of course they wouldnt explode. The chocolate would expand as well because choclate isnt a solid 'material'.

Oooh.

Is there a reason you couldn't have actually made that point originally?

Why on earth would you leave your response open to interpretation like that?

Would the chocolate expand inwards, outwards or both?

I wonder when you take them from the freezer will they melt in your hand but not in your mouth?
