    Default After Easter Chocolate

    The post-holiday candy sales have now come and gone, and the goodies have been vacuum packed. Didn't have nearly the haul I had last year. Seems the stores simply didn't stock as much. Did anyone else experience that?

    I was too busy to go to the stores on Monday . . . but still have a box left over from last year's sales. I had stored in a dark cool place and you could not tell it was a year old.

    I have mine stored that way, too, and last year's chocolate tastes as if it was bought yesterday. Well, I just HAD to taste test it to make sure.

    Honestly, I didn't see ANY of those this year! Too bad, as they are my favorites!

    The only candy I found was Robin Eggs, so I bought it all up and then sealed it up in a quart jars with my new handy-dandy Food Saver accessory hose.

    They also had M&M's (plain & peanut) at 50%, so I grabbed some of them, too. Sealed those babies up in pint jars. I read on that Kellene's (Doomsday Preppers) blog that hers were sealed for 3 years before she did a taste test for the peanuts going rancid and they were just fine. Woot!!

    I'm lovin' this Food Saver!!
