Seeing as it's tricky to keep things frozen all the time, wouldn't the best advice be to stick a pin in it like an egg, or fork in a sausage, both also done to prevent explosions from pressure changes. Or just tap it to crack the shell a bit.

Its a marshmallow filling like fluff (the spread) it will just ooze out and go everywhere.

A pin prick isn't going to cause that, and it's going to crack anyway if the pressure change gets enough. an existing hole/crack just stops it being explosive.

The chocolate isn’t thick, the foil i could understand. But the filling isn’t firm i can guarantee you it will ooze out any gap you give it under -pressure.

Aldi caramel wafers have more caramel in them.

I also prefer other brands of tea cake, with a smear of raspberry jam
