Compared to dark chocolate, milk chocolate contains more sugar and milk solids, resulting in a sweeter, creamier, and less intensely cocoa-flavored profile. The addition of milk also contributes to a smoother melt and a lighter color.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining chocolate hearts in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to prevent exposure to air, which can affect texture and flavor. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and develop a white, chalky appearance.
