Tips
Store in cool, dry area and keep covered.
For pantry storage, room temperature should not exceed 70° F; if this is not possible, refrigeration or freezing is recommended.
When exposed to overly warm or humid temperatures, chocolate may develop a white film — this affects appearance only; the chocolate will still be safe to eat.
To refrigerate or freeze, place original box or package in heavy-duty freezer bag.
Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
