Chocolate Biscuits Lost Their Shine

[dancecaller]

They are well within their best before date though they have been kept (unopened) for a while. I know the bloom is not harmful but they don't taste the same. Any suggestions to improve them?

[Hopkirk]

Eat them and buy a new pack?

[carrust]

Lick them before you eat them:-)

Dunk!

Try heating them in a low oven for 5-7 minutes.

that would be a first for chocolate biscuits in my house

[ummmm]

Lol Danny...

[dannyk13]

They will not melt if on lowest heat for about 5 minutes

warm chocolate biscuits sound delicious, i'll tell her indoors that's how i'd like them in the future ...

[douglas9401]

I'd eat two at a time to get the full flavour back.

Like mamya said...dunk 'em!

It seems extravagant to heat the oven for 1 choc biscuit, and you know what would happen if I heated more than 1!
The only reason they've lasted this long is that I buy lots when on offer (can't risk running out).
I've experimented with a microwave (no effect at all), and a hot but turned off grill (some effect, maybe I didn't leave it long enough).

[dancecaller]

More experiments are called for, all in the cause of science.

you never did choc-production at primary skool ?

The sugar has crystallised out - I dont think you can reverse it

eat and destroy ( or send them to me, and I will er send them to Ukraine/Siberia/Sierra Leone )

// Like mamya said...dunk 'em!//

yeah but she may not like sweet tea - depending on how many are dunkt of course

[dannyk13]

You could always try going over them with a hot knife to refresh the chocolate.

[dancecaller]

I might try the hot knife. Grilling until just melting is OK too.
Yes, I knew some component of the choc late had crystallised, but the texture affects the taste.
