What do you do with expired chocolate?

I found out that our chocolate had expired. It expired in January. It was kept in the fridge and I think that we can still eat it. We completely forgot about it because my mom buys too many chocolates and they expire. I wonder if it's safe to eat them. I found some information about it and it seems like expired chocolate is safe. I think I will eat it because I don't have any other sweets left.

If it expired the past January it is surely still good to eat. Do not worry, eat the chocolate.

@dya80dya - I ate expired chocolate, if it has been kept in a safe place, it is still good even if expired.

@LadyDuck This is good to know. Until now I got rid of expired chocolate and I wasted it.

I would do the same if the chocolate would be different, but it's still like it isn't expired.

It has the same taste it had when it wasn't expired.

I throw it away. I am allergic to molds and mites and so I am careful.

This doesn't have molds. I would throw away anything with molds.

@dya80dya That is good. Eating moldy food is dangerous for our health.

You may eat a bit first,if the taste is still good,no unusual taste or texture,you can eat it.Sometimes,i drink expired milk,it didn't go bad.Actually,the expire date doesn't means the goods will go bad after expire date,it means they can't guarantee the quality of goods.In fact,some goods still be ok a few days after expire date.

I tried expired yogurt and it was safe to eat. In this way, we aren't wasting food.

I wouldn’t worry about it unless it was far past the expiration date.

if the texture of the chocolate doesn't change it's probably doing fine.

As long as it wasn't left out, doesn't look or smell funny, then it's safe to eat.

If you read it is safe than you should be ok. I eat chocolate as soon as I get it.

I think it will be safe as long as the chocolate has not discolored or looking bad, From the Internet Expired chocolate is generally safe to eat, but it may not taste as good as fresh chocolate1. If the chocolate has been unopened or stored correctly, it’s generally okay to eat for months past the expiration date2. Dark chocolate, baking chocolate, bittersweet, or semi-sweet chocolates will generally stay fresh for one to two years2.

Expired chocolate is safe to eat, as long as it doesn't have a light tannish coating on it. Since it was in the fridge it is still safe to eat. The only way you might make yourself sick is by doing the normal thing of eating too much of the chocolate at one time and giving yourself a stomach ache. I have had chocolate that has been in the fridge for a couple of years and it hasn't gone bad, simply because it is in a temperature controlled environment.

I am not eating too much chocolate because it makes me feel sick. I ate it and nothing happened. It's good to know that it's safe to eat.
