Do you ladies think it's too early for me to buy Hershey Kisses that I'll be using as part of my favors for a July wedding? They're on sale through the Knot right now and I was thinking about ordering them but am concerned that they might either melt or get all dry and icky like chocolate does when it's old. Do you think five months is too much time for it to sit around???

If you think I should wait, then when do you think is a good time to order them?

TIA for your responses!

I bought some Valentine's day candy for my October wedding. I don't think that I will have any problems as long as I keep them in a cool place. I wouldn't put them in the fridge though because they turn that white color. I am a little bit nervous but I got a good deal on them and I didn't buy ALL the candy that I need. I def. feel your anxieties though!

If it s a really good price than I would do it and keep it in the fride. IMO

The white spots you guys are talking about occurs when chocolate is kept in extreme hot or extreme cold conditions. If it's kept in the fridge, the sugar will rise to the surface, and turn white. It's called blooming. I used to work at a chocolate shop, and we would always tell people to store their chocolate in a cool, dry place like the garage but NEVER the fridge. HTH!
