That chocolate is better at room temp instead of cold from the fridge?

[Frosty66611]

Having a debate at work (clearly all very busy today...) about whether chocolate should be kept in the fridge or not. I never put mine in the fridge and I don’t like it chilled. I seemed to be completely in the minority. AIBU?

Putting chocolate in the fridge causes the chocolate to "bloom" and the butter&cocoa mix to split. Basically the opposite of what it should do and it's NEVER as good.

Room temp (in a UK climate) or not at all!

Frosty - you can have all my hazelnut ones. I don't like Nutella (too many hazelnuts and too "liquid" we've now established) and can't stand Fererro Rocher chocolates! Whether or not they've been in the fridge.

Mmmmm Forerro Rocher

Nope. Room temp chocolate is the best.

It goes so creamy and melts so nicley in your mouth.

Cold chocolate is hard and doesn't seem to melt as nicely as room temp choc.

Nooooo never EVER in the fridge!!!!!

You are so right. Constant debate in my house though 😂

My parents used to be confectioners and we were told never to put chocolate in the fridge because it contributes to bloom (when chocolate turns white). I've always eaten my chocolate at room temperature, I think the cold affects the taste too... bleurgh.

Depends what temperature the room is . Chocolate wouldn't keep at room temperature when I lived so we always keep it chilled. I do prefer it not cold though. Does taste better.

In the fridge & let it melt in your mouth.
Though I eat chocolate any way...

Neither.

Too much fucking palm oil means the texture is wrong chilled or room temp.

Depends on the chocolate. Cheap chocolate goes in the fridge or freezer and has a nice snap to it. Nice Belgian chocolate is eaten at room temperature.

Chocolate should never be refrigerated

YANBU at all. I love warmer wispa, buttons, gianduia. Only thing i prefer in the fridge is reeses cups

Cold chocolate is too hard to bite, it makes me think I’m going to yank my teeth out with it

@goodheavens me too. Always feel like i’ll chip a tooth when I bite into a rock hard piece of CDM

Fridge chocolate is way too cold to melt nicely in your mouth! ~
Only useful on a very hot day when your bar of choc is very melty and need a quick blast to firm it up :)

I always put chocolate in the fridge- Fry’s Chocolate Cream straight from the fridge is gorgeous

YANBU - room temp or warmed up 10000000%

Depends on the chocolate. 40-50% milk I put in the fridge, it takes the edge of the sweetness off. I’m talking about the thin slabs you buy, not a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk (which personally I’d put in the bin).

Dark chocolate room temp.

We're not allowed chocolate unless it's been in the fridge!

It depends what chocolate it is to be honest, but as a general rule of thumb, I like it room temperature.

room temp most of the time but for some reason an easter egg shell has to be refrigerated and ate cold. x

Aero needs to be crunched up straight from the fridge. In one go.

I refrigerate chocolate and freeze curly wurlys. I buy it, so everyone else has to eat it the way I store it or buy their own.

My husband puts the chocolate 🍫 in the fridge! Grr!
