Butler's chocolates

Did anyone see the "bloom" on the boxes of chocolates they were doing on consumer choice?
They were stale as buggery, yet Howard was dipping in ...mmmming and ahhing nobody's business, dread to think what would have happened if he'd tried a fresh one lol!

Bloom doesn't mean they are stale or off, it just means the temperature hasn't been ideal where they have been stored. They will taste no different. It's not mould or anything nasty and they will probably taste fine :grin:

That said, they really shouldn't be miserly, dragging old choccies out the cupboard if they want to make good sales

Not stale at all, it even says on a lot of boxes of chocolates that the white bloom is ok.
