Melt it for hot chocolate ? Or donate to local food bank maybe.
Personally I’d keep eating it Edited at 09:03 PM. |

There are cheesecake and brownie recipes on the Asda recipes website using Terry's chocolate orange segments. And a raspberry martini recipe using candy canes!

Make rocky road or hot chocolate.
If lots left and really don't want to eat you could donate to food bank or even nursing homes - they often use chocolates for their film days. I visit a nursing home and they always appreciate donations.

thanks for the suggestions
I have donated anything that was still unopened and the left over quality streets ds took into work for the staff room but the rest has been opened so trying to find ways to use it up - ideally things I can pop in the kids lunches to save me eating it |

Sorry can’t help. The phrase “ left over” in the context of chocs etc doesn’t compute in my mind.

I freeze chocolates, never had a problem if double wrapped and put in a tub. Defrost in fridge.
