Generally what is the shelf life of these chocolates from the day they are shipped?

The "best before" date is a long timeline, my brother and his friends took about 1.5 months to finish these - so can safely presume this much time :)

Ok Dev, I received my shipment a little over a week ago and the freshness date on the bottom says best by 07 of 2014. I hope that heps you out, Dev

I keep a small dish out for people to help themselves and then I put the rest in the refridgerator to be sure they stay fresh. That may not be necessary but I like to do it especially in the hot months. My friends and I really do enjoy them.

Back when I purchased these a while back I bought 2 at the time (1 for Halloween and 1 for personal consumption) which had a good shelf life. I'd say you'd be good for a few months in my opinion. In case you were wondering there's about 100 nuggets per package. I counted them out at the time. Hope this helps you decide to buy or not. ^Jim

I have never actually timed it, but I am sure I have had them at least a month, and they would have been good for some time after that but for my chocolate addiction...lol.

As long as they are carefully stored they should have a decent shelf life. I have some from almost three years ago, still work when cracked and shaken. Nephews get a huge kick out of them.

Hi. I don't remember exactly when I purchased the chocolate but I believe it was Feb-March of 2013 possibly earlier. I just checked the exp. date and found some was Mar 2014 and some April 2014. I was pleased with the freshness and condition and it has performed as expected in my recipes.

The expiration will vary. They will send you a fresh box of chocolate. Looks like the expiration on mine was 2-14-27, but technically, chocolate doesn't expire. If you want an exact expiration, asking the seller would be more profitable.

I placed my order April 2013. They had an expiration date of 8/22/13. I immediately ate & shared several of the Terry's Chocolate Orange balls and they were delicious. I saved/hoarded two of the Choc. Orange balls & when I received this question from Amazon I decided it was time to open one of the two I had 'saved.' I didn't refrigerate or freeze them, they were stored at room temperature. I am eating it as I write, March 9, 2014 and I have to say that it looks and tastes exactly like it did in April 2013. This seller obviously shipped me quality Terry's Chocolate Orange balls that were well within the expiration date, but I chose to 'save' 2 for later eating pleasure and they are still yummy!

I bought them in November or December...I have no ideal if they even had an expiration date. The problem wasn't that they were stale, after reading up on their chalky condition it indicated they were stored incorrectly (I can't remember the term but if you google chalky chocolate it will tell you). Amazon more than made me happy with the result they provided me. I highly recommend this candy.

I received the order quickly, although I can't remember the exact number of days, thinking back I believe it took only 4 days from the order date. I still have some in the original plastic container they were shipped in and they are still not stale, I would still use them, and I have had them for well over a month. Hope that helps.

Rebecca, Some time ago I did purchase the Hersheys cocoa from Amazon. From what I remember the expiration date was later than what was available in a local store. Dennis

You would have to ask the seller because no expiration dates are on the candy themselves or on the invoice. I buy them all the time and find that I don't have a problem as long as you keep them in the plastic bag that they come in and you do not get them wet or exposed to too much sunlight. Hope this helps!

My answer is, NOT fresh. Mine just arrived, and I was surprised to see that they were NOT in a box. Just the round, foil-covered oranges, so there were no expiration dates. I immediately unwrapped one, and compared them to 1) oranges I bought last year, and 2) oranges I bought this Christmas (I was just eating them last night, finishing one and starting another.the chocolate looks old, with some of that whitish that appears. It does not have much, if any, of an orange flavor, whichis what happens when these age.

I don't really know. I throw them into the freezer and pull out as I need them. however, one package was put on a shelf, last summer, so I opened it up in October, looked good, used it, no change in taste or ill effects.

When stored properly, dark chocolate should easily last 12 - 16 months. Keep it sealed from moisture and odors. Proper processing (tempering) ensures it is returned to a stable state when converted into whatever delectable form for consumption.

I do not know exactly; however, I bought a box of 800 months ago and I believe that they are still fresh. If you are going to use 2 or more per day, the box of 800 should be OK.

Sorry I cannot answer your question because I didn't pay attention to the date I gave them out at Halloween when I bought them. I am "old school" and sugar candy should last pretty much forever????

They have a 2 year shelf life unopened. The quality of this product is unsurpassed. Although not required I refrigerate mine after opening.

I don't remember but I do know that they were not expired. They are great! I wish they offered them in dark chocolate but milk chocolate was great.

Sorry, I don't remember...I do remember that they were stale..I would not order again from this vendor. If fresh, they are my favorite chocolate.
