A month ago, i found a huge stash of chocolate ...2 cartons full. However, all the chocolate had expired by April 2004. 2 years gone by. i was wondering what would happen if i ate them now? Pls do not suggest that i throw them away as i'm posting this from a place where chocolate is so prrrecious!!!

What will happen, nothing. It just won't taste as good. Eat to much of it fresh or old and you'll get sick. The old stuff starts to taste a bit dried out and the texture gets a bit off.
Just eat some and you'll see. |

Provided the chocolate is 'sealed' and when opened looks 'ok' (it does not matter if it has lost it's 'gloss' it can be eaten). Chocolate will keep for up to ten years - more in the right conditions, the sell by date or best before labels do not mean "Poisoness after" !!
I have eaten chocolate up to 3 years old and I'm still perfectly Aaaaarrgghh... |

YES, candy can go bad/expired. Any food can go bad, no matter the amount of preservatives.
Hard candies can absorb moisture from the air and when moist, sugar is an excellent food for mold spores.
Chocolate Bars containing any fruit or nut products can also go bad. Nuts can grow mold, turn rancid or hatch "things" if left too long. Plain chocolate has a long shelf life, but can be 'hit by heat' and end up looking like it's all grey and or splotchey. This is not mold, but just the cocoa butter fat rising to the surface. - Yahoo Answers
Therefore, ugh yeah.. and it'll be stale making it hard to chew.. Chhheeew.. CHEWWW!

Hence the right conditions. If the chocolate is sealed properly, in a dry area, no mold grows, etc, it should be edible. granted, I've never exactly eaten anything past the expiration date since the last time my grandmother ("intelligent" as she is) made some food with three year old canned chicken.
Yes, old ladies all believe that because it's canned it doesn't "expire". |

| My general view is that not eating chocolate when the opportunity presents itself should be the only behaviour that is subject to capital punishment. |

I definitely don't advice you to eat those chocolates nor throw them away. We could use those chocolates to do something useful such as using it for some experiment.Chocolates could be used in certain scientific experiments and please get the advice of an expert to do such things if you are an ultimate science buff.
I am fond of chocolates and i am really confused as to what to you should do with that box.
