To think chocolate should not be kept in the fridge!

[bellarations]

It's too hard and tasteless!
However some bright spark has ruined my evening by "popping" it in the fridge! Grrrrrr....

You store chocolate? (contemplates this phenomenon).....

Horrible cold crunchy choc, yummy soft, room temp choc.

Should not be kept in fridge, ditto cold flakes in ice cream, yuk yuk yuk, never as nice as they should be.

I'm in the fridge camp. I don't want squishy chocolate!

Room temperature, definitely.

Why are you keeping chocolate?

Another vote for the fridge (at least in warm weather).

I vote fridge too. Except toblerone because you nearly break your teeth eating it otherwise.

Good point about toblerone.

Yet another vote for the fridge.

amateurs.

You break toblerone into the triangles before putting it in the freezer then you suck a triangle until it melts.

I'm ashamed of you.

YANBU, chocolate from the fridge is wrong and sometimes painful

I have ten minutes before the Co-Op shuts to buy a toblerone and try Hecate's idea

Have this constant argument with DH.
The whole point of chocolate is that it melt just below room temp so melts instantly on the tongue. Putting it in the frige ruins the effect.

definitely freezer, fridge at a push. Not room temperature, blergh

the anticipation is better than instant gratification.

it goes into your mouth, a cold hard tasteless little pebble, and then slowly melts and you begin to taste a hint of the delicious creaminess to come before the full flavour begins to caress your tastebuds and, and...

can I get a lift to the co-op Oberon?

To me it depends what it is. A bar like galaxy or dairy milk is best in the fridge, it surely burns more calories the more you have to chew it

Other chocolate (lunch box types -kit kats etc) in the cupboard but only as I would run out of room for the other fridge stuff!

Chocs spread definitely in the cupboard, My MIL used to keep peanut butter and marmite in her fridge and that was an bugger to spread!

Nothing better than Fry's Chocolate Cream from the fridge. Nothing. Nothing . Nothing.

if it's tasteless chocolate (like Cadbury's) then it'll be tasteless out of the fridge. But good quality milk chocolate from the fridge is just yum yum yummy.

Caduby's Twirl Bites and Caramel Nibbles should be kept in the freezer, then it takes longer to melt in your mouth, so you get you enjoy the taste longer.

It should definitely not be kept in the fridge. It should be kept in my handbag so no one knows about it and I can eat it in secret.

Unless it's thorntons, you can store those in the bin.

I used to like thorntons. wtf have they done to it these days?

Never keep choc in the fridge nor tomatoes nor gherkins

Hecate I'm just back! Three pieces of Toblerone now in the freezer ready for me to try tomorrow (I had to eat the rest to make sure it hadn't gone off).

Thorntons really have gone to shit haven't they. They used to be all luxury. Now you can buy it in Poundland.

Yabu! It's down to personal taste. I love chocolate that has been in the fridge and dislike it all melty and claggy.
