I picked the small quantity of chocs and these arrived in a small sealed see-through, plastic wrapping. There were 9 in total and had a date code of 12/2026. Perfect quantity for a small gift. They arrived wrapped in bubble, and in a cardboard box so were in perfect condition. Because they were sealed, and even if I had been tempted to try one, I didn't, but I have to admit, they did look tempting!
