Chocolate covered peanuts are one of the most favorite snacks in the world, and they usually contain crispy peanuts covered with rich chocolate, which makes people want to eat one bite after another. People often buy big packages of chocolate covered peanuts and when they cannot finish them, start thinking about freezing them. Can chocolate-covered peanuts be frozen? The answer is yes! However, there are several things to pay attention to before freezing.
Why freeze chocolate covered peanuts?
Extend shelf life
While chocolate covered peanuts have a very long shelf life, they may become damp or the chocolate can melt if not stored properly. Freezing extends freshness in snacks.
Maintain taste
The appropriate freezing temperature can prevent the peanuts from losing their crispness and prevent the appearance of frost (white frost) on the surface of the chocolate, so that they still taste as good as before after long-term storage.
Notes on freezing
To ensure the quality and taste of frozen chocolate covered peanuts, please refer to the following steps:
Packaging and storage
Pack chocolate covered peanuts into sealed bag or airtight containers. Removing the air from the bag as much as possible could prevent moisture from going in and avoid the forming of ice crystals when freezing.
Control the temperature
Freezer temperature should be below -18°C, which provides maximum texture of chocolate and crispiness of peanut to be achieved.
Avoid frequent thawing
If the frozen chocolate-wrapped peanuts are taken out for thawing and then frozen again, doing so frequently will frost or soften the surface, affecting the taste. Therefore, it is suggested to take out the amount at one time required and continue to freeze the rest.
Storage time
Though freezing prolongs the storage time, for a good taste, it is better to consume it within 3 months.
How to eat frozen chocolate covered peanuts?
After taking out the chocolate covered peanuts from the freezer, you can choose the following two ways to eat:
- Enjoy directly: The frozen chocolate covered peanuts have a tighter taste and are a unique and delicious experience.
- Eat after thawing: Let the frozen chocolate covered peanuts stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to restore their original taste.
Summary
Although it is okay to freeze chocolate-covered peanuts, one should pay attention to the details of sealing, temperature, and time of consumption. If frozen properly, not only can the shelf life be extended, but the taste and quality of snacks can also be guaranteed.
