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

[ChocolateShouldNotBeInTheFuckingFridge]

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 )

I've just had a square of my reeses bar from the fridge. Lush.

I wouldn’t have the patience for chocolate to chill, much prefer it at room temperature.

You are RIGHT! The cold tightens the molecules, and , in taste terms, reduces the flavour.

I don't mind milky way, certain biscuits in the fridge even frozen mars bar but my dark chocolate lives in the cupboard.

Chocolate should absolutely be kept in the fridge. Who wants their chocolate to sit at room temperature, getting all hot and sweaty?

I like my chocolate cold, don’t like
it soft and melty. But it doesn’t stay there long enough to get a bloom, just as long as it takes the wine to chill!

Biscuits have no place whatsoever in the fridge though. That’s a hard line!

Yes I don’t understand these bloom people… why buy it if you are not going to snaffle it down ASAP temporarily store it in the fridge?! Also agree with the wine chilling comment! (And ice cubes if your fridge is being lazy with the wine!)

Wow, cannot believe the votes. OP you are NOT BU

Chocolate definitely in fridge for me and sometimes in freezer. I get it changes the flavour and don't care. I love the snappiness. Especially Easter eggs which have to go in the freezer. I have been known to put a chocolate digestive in the freezer too.

The people have spoken… and they are eating chocolate under the best possible circumstances!

I have one of these. I don't keep butter in it, because I don't spread butter. It's the best place for chocolate. I run it at about 12 degrees, which is just right. It has a lock, which I don't need to deploy because NOBODY touches my chocolate without express permission. Any chocolate outside this cooler is fair game. I'm not a complete tyrant.

Most unreasonable post in this section to date lol - chocolate must always be kept in the fridge!

I didn’t have very strong feelings- until I bit into a bar of chocolate straight from the fridge and broke the root of my tooth.

One very expensive bone graft and implant later, I no longer keep chocolate in the fridge.

I think it tastes nicer at room temperature, seems like less flavor right out of the fridge. Depends how hot it is the summer though - when we went to Australia and it was 40° it was all in the fridge in the stores

Agree! It doesn't taste as nice when it's been in the fridge! I'd rather have melty but tasty chocolate!

Can’t believe how many people keep chocolate in the fridge, it makes it taste of nothing! I think most things have more taste at room temperature, like fruit and cheese.

What the actual hell is wrong with you all.
Cold chocolate tastes of nothing.

Ye have all been warned, you fridge/freezer using loons.

Soft yucky chocolate. I'd rather eat dust to quote Marjory Dawes.

You may as well be eating dust, with the lack of flavour that fridge/freezer chocolate has.

I’ve kept KitKat in the fridge this summer as it’s been so hot the chocolate has gone all soft. But normally no, I don’t.

Fridge chocolate is rank.

Dh is in the doghouse at the moment, @Sahara123. I have a box of Green and Blacks tiny chocolate bars - lots of different flavours, but only two tiny bars of each - they are my chocolate fix now I am type 2 diabetic, and can't have a lot of sugar. I asked him to bring me a couple of mini bars, but not the ginger flavoured ones - those are my favourite and I wanted to save them 'til last. He thought I didn't like them, and he ATE THEM!!! I was shocked and saddened.

I've added a full sized bar of the ginger flavour to next week's supermarket order, and if he lays a finger on it, I'm hiding all his Yorkie bars!

That's divorce territory! I feel your pain.

It's like cheese - it tastes better left out of the fridge.

I worked in a hotel in Switzerland when I was a student and the cheese board and the chocolates were removed from the fridge at start of service so they were perfect to eat by the time it came to eating them.

Chocolate goes so hard in the fridge - I don't like the texture and you don't pick up the flavour.

But it's personal taste. I put ketchup in the fridge even though you dont have to because we like it cold.
