Taking chocolates to Europe in Nov . Worried about the heat /melting
Which is the best way ?
Note hand luggage is not feasible as it is boxes (yes plural ) of curly wurlys (I have created monsters by introducing friends to these )
1) flying out of Sydney with layover in Singapore of 7hours . Where is the luggage ? Not QF1 from Sydney however connecting with it
Or 2) early check in at Sydney leaving some hours later going to HND with five hour layover going onto JAL
Any suggestions ?

I have travelled with chocolate many times (mostly arriving into Australia), and heat / melting have never been a problem.
Check-in baggage should be OK.

Can you put them in a cool bag with a frozen ice pack and just made sure the ice pack is wrapped well to absorb any moisture

I've never had them melt in checked in baggage

Thanks there may be a bit going. I may have gone and bought a bit of Haigh's

You can also use those 1st aid freezer packs as I found they last a while.

Pack in middle of checked luggage with penty of clothes eiher side to keep temperature constant. (add a cool pack if you like, but personally i feel refridgerating chocolate ruins it), they should stay cool enough unless luggage is left in direct sun on the Aussie and SIN legs for an extended period. In flight bags gets nicely chiled, ive never come home with melted chocolate.

As an aside pretty sure you can get Curly Whirly in Europe - well you can def get them in the UK.
