The shelf life of chocolate candy usually depends on its composition and storage conditions. The shelf life of pure chocolate candy (excluding other perishable ingredients) can reach several months to more than one year. This is because chocolate candy has high cocoa solids and sugar content and low water activity, which slows down the growth of microorganisms and the deterioration of food. The quality and taste of chocolate candy will change with time, especially after the shelf life is exceeded. In order to ensure the quality of chocolate candy, it is recommended to store it in a dry and cool environment and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperature.
