AIBU to think chocolate should NOT be kept in the fucking fridge?

DH believes chocolate (including biscuits e.g. digestives) should be kept in the fridge because “it tastes nicer, keeps its shape and lasts longer”.

I believe chocolate should not be kept in the fridge because it’s fucking wrong, basically. Am I being unreasonable?

(There is also another AIBU worthy sub question, which is that if you can say you can fit a chocolate digestive in your mouth, YABU to then break it into pieces with bites as you put it in, so that it fits? This is clearly cheating and DH should be told he is YABU just for this alone? If I lose this fridge thread, I’ll start that one Wink)

Is it that the toffee bit becomes too hard?

Show quote history

yep, makes it impossible to eat until its warmed up, so i leave it in the cupboard.

Okay in a frantic attempt to swing the votes my way, DH thinks white chocolate is rank. Dark chocolate is only acceptable if it’s Fry’s mint or orange. Matchmakers and After Eights are acceptable.

I really should LTB…

You could drip feed that he's a serial killer and you won't win. Sorry OP, no chance.

The only place chocolate should be kept is in the freezer!

The only chocolate i will not keep in the fridge is curlywurlys.

Everything else is fridged.

Warm chocolate is horrible/rank.

Thank you for all replies (even though the majority are wrong Grin)

Chocolate bars in freezer?! This actually is interesting. Could I freeze a Bounty? I’m going out on a limb @ThousandYardStareand think you hate them too as you’ve listed my favourites upthread Grin

WRONG!! I fucking LOVE a Bounty! Red one tho, not blue. Although, I am a mahoosive pig, I'll eat a blue one, who am I kidding. But liquorice, sultana scones and bubblegum ice cream banning is a hill I'll die on

FullOfLemons · 19/08/2025 19:07

You can freeze a Bounty but it will still be shit IME

murasaki · 19/08/2025 19:06

Dp did put chocolate biscuits in the fridge last week at work but in his defence it was that or his bag in a hot car. He doesn't do it in our house.

Everydayimhuffling · 19/08/2025 19:06

Chocolate from the fridge is great! Chocolate (and all other) digestives are terrible, so nothing could change them.

DiscoBob · 19/08/2025 19:06

In summer you have to or it melts?
I hate really cold chocolate though. Like in ice-cream. A lump of frozen chocolate just tastes like plastic!

Bambiwithlonglegs · 19/08/2025 19:06

I kept all chocolate in fridge when it’s been really hot as I found it was all melting but otherwise in cupboard!

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 19/08/2025 19:05

I keep it in the fridge. I like it hard.

MrsTigerface · 19/08/2025 19:05

Chocolate; always, always from the fridge. I am currently in an hotel room which is well air conditioned, but I made the error of eating one of the wee choccy treats from the hospitality tray without refrigerating it first. Rookie error. The other one is on ice, to be devoured later.

Please explain the virtues of warm chocolate 😀

Oh is it the palm oil that makes it go all claggy in your mouth if it's eaten at room temperature?

Yeah - I loathe it. I hate it and can't untaste it now. I have to buy very expensive chocolate to enjoy it at all now. It's sad because I used to be a right chocoholic and took great pleasure in a bar of anything.

AgnesX · 19/08/2025 19:05

Love a cold chocolate biscuit. And the idea of cold chocolate is so you can make it warm and gooey in your gob 😁

Definitely in the fridge, in summer. Not in winter.

This 👆 - I eat dark chocolate and love it cold in Summer.

[Milk chocolate that is ‘melty’ - no thanks!
White chocolate - that’s just an abomination and no amount of chilling will improve it!]

MigGril · 19/08/2025 19:04

No, no chocolate in this fridge. As someone else said it effects the flavor and can make it go off if kept cold for to long.

See white blooms on chocolate that has accidentally lived in the loft for a year because we put the chocolate Christmas decorations away.

DongDingBell · 19/08/2025 19:03

Biscuits in the fridge?? Absolutely no way.
Chocolatein the fridge I can deal with, but don't.
Semi-frozen Mars bars are pretty good tho.

Pepperedpickles · 19/08/2025 19:02

Ewwwww. No. Chocolate should be super cold. It’s disgusting if it’s warm.

FullOfLemons · 19/08/2025 19:01

It depends

Snickers - Yes and Freezer even better

Twirl - No, that is wrong. You will ruin it.

FamilyPhoto · 19/08/2025 19:01

I live in Spain.
Chocolate has to be kept in a fridge here most of the year.

ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge · 19/08/2025 19:00

Hmm. An interesting new angle. DH agrees that chocolate biscuits should not be kept in the fridge in summer.

I have a partial victory <ignores poll>
