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.

Ooh I love a bit of cold chocolate!

Ugh, my husband does this too - it's so wrong! Totally ruins the flavour.

Yanbu, chocolate should be served at room temperature.

With the exception of a chocolate orange. For some mysterious reason these taste better chilled.

Your right about chocolate orange! Not that I can eat either anymore (cut out dairy), but also Galaxy is weirdly sooo much better cold.

But... like I said... I do like cold chocolate

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.

surely it depends where you live. I lived in SE Asia for a while. Room temp would basically mean 'melted'. TBH, the summers we have had in the UK recently where we are regularly over 30 degrees will also mean chocolate is a soft mess. One would think you would know this if you make chocolate for a living...

Milk chocolate in the fridge. Plain chocolate in the cupboard. White chocolate in the bin.

You would hate my house. It’s put in the freezer here! My husband converted me and hate to say it... so much better!

@IDontMindMarmite I never put ours in the fridge unless it's 30°C or more outside. But I do know some people who put it in the fridge and enjoy it very cold/hard.

Not me!

You are completely unreasonable!!! There is nothing better than a cold twix dunked in a hot cup of tea!!!!

@Shesellsseashellsontheseashore

Chilled chocolate from the fridge with a cup of tea. Perfect. All chocolate goes in the fridge here. It has its own drawer

Exactly my way of doing things.

Cheap chocolate tastes better from the fridge. It’s the only way Cadbury’s is vaguely edible anymore. The cold dulls the flavour.

after eight all in the cupboard.

We used to break After 8s in half, put them in a tablespoon, and melt them over a burner on the stove.

You’re not confusing that with heroin Andylion?

Depends on the chocolate.
Chocolate Orange, for instance, is repulsive at room temperature but amazing when cold.

Urgh no.

Controversial but I like chocolate slighly melty. Dipped in a cuppa works for me.

I shall await the pile on 😂😂😂

Reese’s Pieces from the freezer are lovely.

In the fridge here but prefer them room temperature. But if I didn't put them in the fridge they would be a melted mishaped mess. Nothing worse than then a reset oddly shaped chocolate bar.

Same goes for butter.

Yanbu. Except handmade chocolates should be kept cool, not cold.

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

You’re buying the wrong chocolate

Only if your house is like a sauna should it be kept in the fridge.

Someone once gave me a refrigerated Toffee Crisp, nearly broke my molars.

I've a friend who sticks chocolate bars between her legs for 5 minutes before eating them.

Wrapper on.

Unless it’s exceptionally hot out (which in this country is a rare treat) and the chocolate is in danger of melting.... then it has no place in a fridge!

Depends on the chocolate. I received some handmade chocolate which said should be stored in the fridge, but brought to room temperature before eating. Ordinary chocolate, not unless it’s crazily hot and it’s melting.
