The 'mildly sweet' designation suggests a balanced profile, avoiding the bitterness sometimes associated with very dark chocolates, while still delivering a richer, deeper chocolate taste.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining chocolates in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the wrappers are sealed to prevent the chocolates from drying out or absorbing unwanted flavors. They can be kept at room temperature.
