Chocolate is best eaten straight from the fridge.

[Jaggerdagger]

I haven't put this in AIBU because it is a statement and you are all wrong.

Agree!! Has to be kept in fridge.
I now am desperate for some lovely cold aero or twix or Mars or anything really (on diet and very chocolate deprived).

Yes definitely!

Should be the law.

Agree

I agree too. Especially anything button shaped

And then dipped in tea

No, you are all wrong. Has to be room temperature. The only time it goes in the fridge here is when it’s the absolute height of summer and even then it comes out to warm up before I eat it.

I've found my people!

And that's the only time it's at its best

Nope. More chocolatey flavour and superior mouth feel if room temp. But I’ll eat it straight from the fridge too. It’s still chocolate.

I put mine in the freezer! Chocolate has to be cold and crisp. I hate RT chocolate, it just clogs up your mouth.

No it's not

No it completely changes the flavour.

Room temperature. Then you should let it melt in your mouth.

No. No. No. I hate fridged chocolate, hard, tasteless and sometimes condensationy.

Chocolate is best at room temperature. The flavour is all wrong when it’s cold.
That said, most of the shit the shops try to pass off as chocolate nowadays probably is better cold because then you can’t taste how awful it is.

Oh no no. Chocolate is prone to absorbing odours from the fridge (or cupboard). Also it causes sugar bloom - where it goes white and spotty. Just needs a cool and dark place, air tight container to keep the cocoa solids and butter emulsion stable.

I did a chocolate making course many moons ago 😆

Freezer for me.
Crisps in the fridge.

No it has to be room temperature and anything else is all kinds of wrong.

Agree. My grandfather owned a cocoa estate in the tropics and I was brought up on real chocolate drinks, lightly flavoured with vanilla. Most chocolate sold in shops should really be labelled "Cocoa flavoured sugar thingy"! 😆

No it doesn’t have any flavour when it comes out of the fridge. It has to be room temperature so it melts in your mouth and has flavour.

I'm team freezer. It's definitely better direct from there.

Only during a heat wave.
