How long do they last?
Kept in a cool, dry place (but not in the fridge!) our chocolates have a minimum shelf life of one month, though we doubt anyone has the willpower to resist them for that long! If you’re not sure, please check the best before date – it’s stamped on the underside of each tin.
***We use natural and naturally derived colours wherever possible (carmine, carotene, beetroot extract, red cabbage blue, paprika, carbon and caramelised sugar) but your biscuit collection may contain up to four of the following: E129, E124, E122, E104, E110, E133, E155, E153, E102.
As all our chocs are handmade, there may be some small variations in colour and design in each tin. We think this adds to their charm – we hope you agree!
