At room temperature.

My DH thinks it should be eaten cold from the fridge.

I think he's vile
Aibu?

Fridge? It has never occured to me to do such an outrageous thing๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜‚- Actually in one of our hottest Spanish summers DH put chocolate in the fridge and it came out like tooth breaking bricks.
I'm interested why people do this? It totally changes the texture and you loose the flavour completely in my opinion. It becomes something else.
Cool cupboard for me (assuming it's hot out), otherwise standard cupboard or secret hiding place (as yet undiscovered by DH- suggestions for new places gratefully received!) is best for me.

Fridge

@Brefugee I think I'd have to add tomatoes to that list personally๐Ÿ˜Š

Interesting split.

I wouldn't mind but he doesn't really eat chocolate much, he'll put mine away for me and it drives me nuts.

A friend of mine eats it from the freezer because 'it lasts longer' Grin

PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya · 19/07/2020 17:10

After Eights or other mints should be kept in the fridge. Everything else needs to be a bit melty so room temperature.

Eyetestingdurham123 · 19/07/2020 17:17

It must be room temp or slightly melty, cold chocolate is horrible.

ComDummings · 19/07/2020 17:19

Fridge! Always the fridge.

RedCatBlueCat · 19/07/2020 17:20

Marsbars after about an hour in the freezer are lovely.
Otherwise, room temperature.

sideorderofchips · 19/07/2020 17:21

Fridge

And then dipped in hot tea before eating

NoMoreReluctantCustodians · 19/07/2020 17:22

Fridge in summer. And now I want chocolate

duvetaddict · 19/07/2020 17:29

Never fridge! Maltesers in the freezer

BiggerBoat1 · 19/07/2020 17:31

Neither. I hate chocolate - just tastes like fat to me.

vampirethriller · 19/07/2020 17:47

Fridge
Unless it's a star bar, which are best frozen.

Snaketime · 19/07/2020 18:06

It depends on the chocolate. Dairy Milk out of the Fridge, Galaxy room temperature.

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 19/07/2020 18:07

Fridge definitely.

gavisconismyfriend · 19/07/2020 18:27

โ€œChocolate should be eatenโ€ is a full sentence Grin

Brefugee · 19/07/2020 18:30

@GlamGiraffe oh yes, agree on Tomatoes

Delbelleber · 19/07/2020 18:31

Room temp or slightly warmer. I hate fridge chocolate!

SquigglePigs · 19/07/2020 19:18

Definitely room temp! I'd rather it melting than fridge cold!!

emz1990 · 19/07/2020 19:26

Yes room temperature all the way!! My DH is the same and any chocolate he gets for himself is put straight in the fridge. Barmy!

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 19/07/2020 19:41

Fridge is better

Tinamou · 19/07/2020 19:42

Room temp

JuneFromBethesda · 19/07/2020 19:46

Fridge or freezer. I really donโ€™t care about all the chocolate experts who say this is not correct ๐Ÿ˜œ

JuneFromBethesda · 19/07/2020 19:50

@GlamGiraffe since you ask, I love the crunch and snap, followed immediately by the way it melts in the mouth. Personally I donโ€™t think the flavour is lost. I eat a lot of chocolate ๐Ÿ˜„ That said Iโ€™m perfectly happy to eat lowbrow chocolate (although I draw the line at Quality Street) so make no claims to a superior palate ๐Ÿ˜
