Chocolate should never be stored in the fridge.

It is morally wrong. A crime upon humanity.
My DH is one such wrongun'. Tell me IANBU.

Of course yabu. It always belongs in the fridge!

Today I learned 58% of people are fucking insane.

Highest quality dark chocolate, at room temperature unless in a heatwave. This is the way!

Chocolate in the fridge is gross to me no no no

It's horrible once it's been in a fridge. Softer chocolate is so much nicer than hard, tooth-breaking chocolate, and tastes better too.

I bet people who put chocolate in the fridge also put tomatoes in the fridge

This. Pretty sure it's then a teeny tiny step into full on murder-anarchy.

It goes white if you leave it in the fridge. Mine has, anyway 🤷‍♀️

Yanbu. My DH puts it in the fridge too. But I suppose if you smash it down like a labrador it doesn't make much difference if it doesn't taste of anything.

And definitely no dunking! 😱

Wispa, twirl, fancy dark chocolate, chocolate buttons, mars and flakes all taste best after being in the fridge. Every thing else is fine in the cupboard.

I've done extensive testing.

If it’s Cadbury’s caramel then definitely in the fridge.....I like it when the caramel is harder and softens in your mouth yum x

Store it in the fridge if you want, but bring it to room temperature to eat it ffs..chocolate dipped in a cup of coffee and then licked or sucked is amazing.

I make chocolate for a living. You should never keep it in a fridge, it's best at room temperature. Keeping it in a fridge or freezer ruins the flavour and texture.

The voice of reason!

My 'D' H ruins our chocolate by putting it in the fridge. It loses the taste and doesn't melt in your mouth.

Only in a heatwave.

Chocolate in the fridge always. Chocolate digestives in the freezer.

YANBU!!!!
DH and I frequently argue about this. He also maintains that tomato sauce ought to live in the fridge. It's a wonder I married him actually, now I come to think of it!

It goes waxy and tasteless if it's in the fridge!

If it contains palm oil will be waxy and tasteless anyway.

Easier to hide from small children in a fridge. Easier to hide from husband in the salad drawer of the fridge.

I came to say exactly this - House83 captures the zeitgeist of family life but individual chocolate.

It doesn't last long enough to be stored anywhere. However, the only chocolate I have stored in the fridge or freezer was After Eights but they are rubbish now so no longer buy them.

I like warm chocolate, dissolved slowly on my tongue.

Think it depends a bit on the chocolate being eaten and also time of year. In the summer I quite like chocolate that's been in the fridge but in winter I dont bother.. husband is dead against ever putting in fridge- a travesty!

For example I would put a cheap bar of chocolate in, but never nice chocolates or truffles or similar..

YANBU, apart from Mars bars, I always keep those in the fridge. All other chocolate goes in the cupboard.

Mars bars are horrible at room temperature
Can only be eaten either melted over icecream or frozen and cut into wafer thin slices

Mars bars should be sucked slowly...
