Just after this past Easter, I went online to the Russell Stover thrift shop and
bought a couple boxes of their coconut nest candy, which is milk chocolate with
crispy coconut mixed in. They're little 2 inch patty shapes. I had just found
them for the first time during the Easter season and loved them but everyone
quickly ran out. Thus the online search. I still have a bunch of them left and
before they go bad (they're still very good) I was thinking of freezing them.
Can you freeze milk chocolate candy without ruining its quality? Thanks.

I have not made candies in a number of years but I'd say yes, you should
be able to freeze it. If it's properly wrapped.

The chocolate will probably bloom a little, but should taste fine...

Nah, no blooming... the best way to ensure chocolate will be eaten
quickly is to freeze it... don't even think of freezing chocolate
brownies for eating later.

You can freeze it but it will likely bloom as it thaws. So it won't look
pretty but should taste okay.

The blooming will happen as the frozen chocolate is thawed. The cold
chocolate will probably condense water out of the air and...BLOOM!

But that just affects the appeararnce, notg the flavor.

Usually the "bloom" happens if the chocolate gets warm. It sweats. I
worked for a vending machine company (route accounting supervisor). The
drivers were always having to refund money because the chocolate candy
bars looked like they had gone bad. It hadn't, but a lot of people have
never heard of chocolate bloom.

IME, bloom happens when there is any drastic temp change.
