Trust my rage

Chocolate chips stored in the freezer--yea or nay?

My mom stores chips for months in her freezer. She buys them at Costco too.

Chocolate chips stored in the freezer--yea or nay?

yea or, rather,YAY!!!! I love keeping my choco chips in the freezer and doling them out with a handful of (also freezer stored) walnuts for a little snack.

Chocolate chips stored in the freezer--yea or nay?

Nay. Milk chocolate keeps for about 10 months stored in a cool, dry environment. If it's too warm or humid, though, you'll get the white streaks.

What is even happening?

Are these the bunnies from last week? And therefore unscathed?

Well, it's hard to tell, because they're bunnies. They're the same general color as the others. One of the ones from last week was a baby. I haven't seen the baby, since. These were adults, and my guess is they were trying to act like adults...bunnies, that is.

It does seem to mean that the coyote didn't get them, at least. I hope it didn't get the baby.

Chocolate chips stored in the freezer--yea or nay?

Yea. I've stored them there many a time, with no noticible change in flavor. And you can bet I quality checked them.

I only use the semi-sweet chips so...

It seems a baby bunny would hardly be worth a coyote's notice. Hopefully the coyote is eatin' nasty rats or somesuch vermin.

Thanks. Into the freezer they'll go.

(I know they keep quite awhile just in a normal pantry, but it is getting toward summer here, I have no AC, and the pantry is on the west side of the house.)

ETA--these are semisweet.
