Chocolate candy will stay good roughly 10 to 12 months. There may be some separation of the cocoa butter, resulting in white/gray spots or streaks before then but that is not a problem.

If the cocoa butter begins to go rancid then off flavors will appear and the candy should be thrown out (it won't make you sick, it is just unpleasant to eat).

Personally I have eaten chocolate candy much older than 12 months and had turned nearly completely white that still tasted perfectly fine (although by then there are typically very strong rancid flavors).
