My DD and I did this last Valentine's Day and bagged it up for each classmate. We bought candy canes at the after-Christmas sale for about $.25/box. It turned out great!
If you freeze chocolate, you run the risk of it turning gray. Nothing wrong with it -- just doesn't look too appealing. If you package it up and store it in cool, dry place it should last for weeks. Chocolate chips/bars/candy last a long time on the shelf so HM candy should too as long as it isn't subjected to temperature extremes.
