Hi, Chocolate stays good and fresh for a long time, especially if it is just plain chocolate suckers. If you were making truffles or something along those lines you'd have a shorter "shelf life." For chocolate suckers, they will easily keep for months. You don't really have to store them in the fridge unless your home is too hot. At room temperature they should be fine. Just keep them in a cool, dry place (free of odors). You can place them in a box or cookie tin, etc. The main thing is that they don't melt or freeze. They'll still taste fine if that happens, but they won't look as nice. They get a bit of 'bloom' if they go through temperature changes which looks like a bit of white coating. If you decide you definitely ought to keep them in the refrigerator because your house is too warm, you can do that too. After you've got them wrapped in the cello, place them in an airtight container to keep any moisture out. Some people even wrap a towel around the container for extra protection. Three weeks isn't long, so personally, I'd keep them at room temperature if I could possibly manage it. Here's more information on <a href="/storing-candy.html">storing candy</a> if you need it. Hope the suckers come out perfect! I'd love to see the finished product. Would you snap a photo and share it with us on our <a href="/chocolate-party-favor.html">chocolate party favor</a> page.
