Storage Time

Best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks at room temperature; refrigeration can extend freshness but may affect texture.

Temperature

Store in a cool, dry place, ideally between 18-22°C (65-72°F). Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

Freezing

Yes, chocolate-covered marshmallows can be frozen to preserve their freshness for longer periods. For best results, individually wrap each marshmallow in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before consuming to prevent condensation and maintain optimal texture. Freezing may slightly alter the marshmallow's chewiness and the chocolate's snap.

Signs of Spoilage

• Chocolate develops a white, powdery bloom (sugar bloom or fat bloom), indicating changes in temperature or age.
• Marshmallow becomes excessively hard, sticky, or develops a stale, dry texture.
• Off-putting or rancid smell emanating from the chocolate or marshmallow.
