use by date on box of chocs...?

[runner2]

Clearing out cupboard under the stairs today, I came across an unopened big tub of Quality Street that must have been around since last Christmas! It's got a date on it - May 17 - but surely they'll still be ok to eat? Just thought I'd check, though, before I tuck into them put them aside again ready for this festive season...

Absolutely fine.

Will be fine. It's a best before date not a use by date.

Go for it OP

Depending on how you have stored them you might get some of the chocolates with a white bloom. It is just some fat or sugar coming out and they are still okay to eat.
