There is a stall in a market in Birmingham that sells out of date/close to date chocolate for reduced prices. He sells alot and as far as I know no one gets ill from it.
I have eaten it with no ill effects.
Also there is a website approved foods that sells such like chocolate and crisps (as well as other stuff) it can be out of date and is perfectly edible.
Last week I ate salt and vinegar twirls from that site from morrissons- BB July 14. Tasted as good as new.

I've had chocolate that may or may not have been in-date, but was dreadful because it'd been through too many hot and cold cycles, which turns it white, brittle and crumbly. (Left for months in a car glovebox for example.)
Other confectionery consisting of more than just chocolate will taste poor if past the best-before date (Kit-kats for example where the biscuit inside turns stale.)
So the quality can suffer, although it's unlikely someone will get ill, partly because they will spit it out if it's that bad.
They should be grateful for what they are given. We don't get and T or T where I live now but where I lived before I did. One little group of little tykes (mini-thug offspring of local thug family) said when I tried to give them some chocolate (in date!) said, We don't like that, we want cash. I told them to pee off!!!
Your not going to get ill, chocolate doesn't become out of date, it is only a best before.
I'm surprised so many people still don't know the difference between a best before date and a use by date. It's been well publicised for a few years now.
Turned the oven off after 10 mins ( thought that would have been long enough). Said fish fingers looked cooked on the outside, but were cold on the inside. I was hungry and couldn't be asked to switch the grill back on, so down the hatchet they went :-)
Well GOOD for you. Young kids do not have developed immune systems so can get ill quickly. I feel like punching this OP.
Thats a tad OTT isn't it. I'm sure if there is a problem with the chocolate after one taste the kids(possibly teenagers if they wanted money!) will just spit it out and not eat it.

Thats like not offering a kid a job because one has no experience, how exactly are the little ***** supposed to build said immune system if you don't let them get ill once in a while?
Good on you OP I think we all ought to buy chocolates now for the next 10 years of Halloween and together we'll save the NHS!

Except the kids immune system won't be challenged by chocolate that it's past its best before date, because best before doesn't mean it's unsafe to eat.

What do you think the chocolate is infected with?

Chocolate is not harmful six months after best before date . It really isnt an issue

It wasn't young kids, they go to secondary school
You're being alarmist and over reacting ! Old chocolate won't make you ill - it may taste a little less nice but it won't do you any harm.
By the time they can knock on doors begging they will have eaten all sorts of crap inadvertently or deliberately.
What the hell is that?
what if they are constipated with all the crap kids eat laxative chocolate wouldn't be so bad for them
its only a health danger issue if it says use by

A strange reaction. Over reaction much?
