In our house if it's got chocolate in it you'd be lucky if it lasts a month no matter what it's expiry date is. :lol:
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

They have Yorkies and other chocolate in the MOD ration packs, we used to be given ones from the 80s and the chocolate (It's not for civvies lol) - Was perfectly fine so, as long as it's in a proper sealed wrapper and not just foil like Asdas own for example I'd say easily 50 years?
