AIBU to think chocolate should NOT be kept in the fucking fridge?

DH believes chocolate (including biscuits e.g. digestives) should be kept in the fridge because “it tastes nicer, keeps its shape and lasts longer”.

I believe chocolate should not be kept in the fridge because it’s fucking wrong, basically. Am I being unreasonable?

(There is also another AIBU worthy sub question, which is that if you can say you can fit a chocolate digestive in your mouth, YABU to then break it into pieces with bites as you put it in, so that it fits? This is clearly cheating and DH should be told he is YABU just for this alone? If I lose this fridge thread, I’ll start that one Wink)

Absolutely should be kept in fridge. Warm chocolate is rank.

I only eat one type of chocolate bar, and it lives in the fridge for lovely cold crunchiness.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 19/08/2025 18:56

Chocolate is fine in the fridge, especially in the summer

But biscuits? In the fridge? Very very unreasonable!

LightCameraBitchSmile · 19/08/2025 18:56

Fridge or freezer. Crème eggs from the freezer are best

Katemax82 · 19/08/2025 18:57

Technically its not meant to be because it effects the flavour..however in hot weather i always keep it in the fridge

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 19/08/2025 18:57

You are correct. It should be kept in the freezer. It's gorgeous frozen.

Agreed.

Charabanc · 19/08/2025 18:58

Definitely in the fridge, in summer. Not in winter.

murasaki · 19/08/2025 18:58

Biscuits is odd, granted.

I used to love a milky way straight from the freezer. Now it's a rare reeses peanut butter bar in the fridge. Lasts a fortnight as I don't have a sweet tooth, but if DP doesn't replace it if he eats it, there's war.

BundleBoogie · 19/08/2025 18:59

Fridge. Especially Crunchies and Wispas. Much nicer cold.

KawasakiBabe · 19/08/2025 18:59

Of course it should. How on earth will it give that satisfying crack when I bite into it if it isn’t!??!!!?

LavenderBlue19 · 19/08/2025 18:59

Fridge, or even freezer. Warm, soft chocolate is horrible.

Ineedanewsofa · 19/08/2025 19:00

Having nearly broken a tooth on a chocolate frog that DH had put in the fridge I 💯 agree with you @ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge
Fridge chocolate people clearly love going to the dentist…
Oh and biscuits in the fridge are an ABOMINATION

ThousandYardStare · 19/08/2025 19:00

Warm bendy chocolate is absolutely up there with things that should be banned, such as liquorice, sultanas in scones and bubblegum ice cream. YABVVU

Arlanymor · 19/08/2025 19:00

Ooh I got a Daim bar out of the fridge earlier and it was gorgeous. Chilled chocolate is lovely, much nicer than room temperature. Sorry. YABVVVVU.

You are entirely correct about the biscuit situation however, your husband is a Cheaty McCheatypants!

ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge · 19/08/2025 19:00

Hmm. An interesting new angle. DH agrees that chocolate biscuits should not be kept in the fridge in summer.

I have a partial victory <ignores poll>

He's right, you're wrong.

Almost all chocolate now contains so much palm oil that it melts at a much lower temperature than it should and feels icky at room temperature.

His reasons are:

  1. It tastes nicer
  2. It keeps its shape better
  3. It lasts longer.
Your reasons are:
  1. It's fucking wrong.

That alone should tell you who is right.

Warm chocolate should be banned. If it's not hot chocolate, it should be cold chocolate.

I live in Spain.
Chocolate has to be kept in a fridge here most of the year.

FullOfLemons · 19/08/2025 19:01

It depends

Snickers - Yes and Freezer even better

Twirl - No, that is wrong. You will ruin it.

Kreepture · 19/08/2025 19:01

The only chocolate i will not keep in the fridge is curlywurlys.

Everything else is fridged.

Warm chocolate is horrible/rank.

Pepperedpickles · 19/08/2025 19:02

Ewwwww. No. Chocolate should be super cold. It’s disgusting if it’s warm.

DongDingBell · 19/08/2025 19:03

Biscuits in the fridge?? Absolutely no way.
Chocolatein the fridge I can deal with, but don't.
Semi-frozen Mars bars are pretty good tho.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 19/08/2025 19:03

Oh is it the palm oil that makes it go all claggy in your mouth if it's eaten at room temperature?

MigGril · 19/08/2025 19:04

No, no chocolate in this fridge. As someone else said it effects the flavor and can make it go off if kept cold for to long.

See white blooms on chocolate that has accidentally lived in the loft for a year because we put the chocolate Christmas decorations away.
