Unusual

[jennyjoan]

For a reason known to me I am hoping to remove certain chocolates from a box and replace them with a "more popular" one. When I go to replace the chocs (milk caramels (hard)) - would I need to cover them with clingfilm or foil or any other source. Thanks

[ummmm]

Just replace the box lid.

[jennyjoan]

right - unfortunately it won't be a lid just a slidey out thingmajig from under the lid

Where are you going to put the chocolates you take out jennyjoan? Is it them you are wondering about? I'm not quite sure what you mean xx

[jennyjoan]

ok sorry for the confusion - no, the ones I take out will be disposed of - want to replace them with new chocs

[jennyjoan]

Like what I am concerned that when the box has been opened "air gets in" so am concerned that chocs will go "soft"

[ummmm]

Why would they be treated any different to the other chocs in the box?

[hellywelly4]

Surely they won't be in the box long enough to go soft!!!!!

[jennyjoan]

Because I have opened them - once they have been closed it will be a while before I give them to said person

[jennyjoan]

as I said Helly - they could be (know this is unusual)

[jackthehat]

Don't open them until closer to the time you are due to see the recipient...

[woofgang]

I think JJ has opened them.....

[jennyjoan]

nah woofie - haven't even bought them lol

[ummmm]

So buy them on the day you plan to gift them.

Buy a box of soft centres.

[jennyjoan]

that's the point mamy - she likes them hard

[ummmm]

Just buy a box of hard chocolates then.

[Mamyalynne]

Buy a box of hard centres.

So you are going to open a box of chocolates, handle all the chocolates remove half of them and then replace the with more handled chocolates. Finally giving your friend a box of opened chocolates.

Why not go into town to 'hotel chocolat' and buy her a box of hard centre?

[jennyjoan]

Islay wont be handling anything as I would be wearing gloves if I do this.

if someone gave me a box of pre-opened chocolates, i probably wouldnt be all that grateful!
