How long can I store chocolate I’ve melted and formed into molded pieces?
Question by Allison H: How long can I store chocolate I’ve melted and formed into molded pieces?
I am making “chocolate leaves” for my wedding but I want to get them done when I have the time (i.e., now as opposed to a few days before the wedding). I am assuming I will need to freeze these. The molds are detailed and we’ll be piping another color on top just before wrapping and getting them out to the wedding. So how long can I store my leaves for and in what kind of container situation?
Thanks!

Personally I’d wait a while I’d wait quite a while before I started making those leaves.
Sometimes frozen chocolate discolors from the freezing. I’d suggest that you not store them more than a month, and if possible I’d story them in a refrigerator or at room temperature rather than in the freezer.
If you don’t freeze them, you won’t have to thaw them and risk melting.
Good Luck.
