How long will cream filled homemade chocolates last?

How long will cream filled homemade chocolates last? Hi Elly, Most of the cream filled chocolates that use real cream (like truffles) will have a shorter shelf life than other cream filled chocolate candy. Recipes vary, but some truffles made with real cream can last up to a month in the refrigerator. You can even freeze them for about 2 months if needed. Of course, you'll have to concern yourself with wrapping the chocolates well in an airtight container to try to eliminate bloom (discoloration) of the chocolate from the temperature changes and possible condensation. You may want to consider making the centers ahead of time and freezing them and saving the dipping process to do as close to the time of gifting as possible. Lucky colleagues! ~Angie
