Chocolate Candy

I'm making chocolate hearts for my favors.  How early do you think I could make them?  I'm getting the molds in December, so anytime after that.  I just don't want to worry about making them 2 weeks before the wedding.

I would be really careful making those in advance. Are you using the chocolate disks sold in the candy-making aisles (like in walmart?) The issue is going to be how they are stored until the wedding. I wouldnt make them more than a month in advance. Also you might check the chocolate you will be using as a guideline for how long they will stay fresh.

Make sure you use a good quality chocolate....like hershey, godiva or nestle.  you should be able to make them about a month in advance with no problem.

I was planning on using the discs that you can get at Michaels.  Do they not taste good?

I've never had them as candy, but they make a pretty decent fondue.

My friend actually bought the disks at Michaels and used them as her favors.  They where really good.

In my experience, if you use good quality chocolates, they should last 2 months (I kept them in saran wrap and air tight container). HTH.
