With Halloween and Christmas around the corner, many of us will be starting to stockpile our seasonal chocolate treats, but where should we store them? While some people prefer to store chocolate in the fridge to keep them chilled, others opt for a cupboard to keep them cool. To put an end to the debacle, Joshua Houston, Food Storage Expert at Household Quotes has warned against refrigerating chocolate. Refrigerating your chocolate is bad for several reasons, the first being that chocolate can easily absorb flavours from other foods in your fridge. Secondly, if you chill your sweet treats you might notice that the cold can make them tasteless. This takes away some of the enjoyment and satisfaction chocolate can bring. Discoloring is another big problem, this occurs when moisture in a fridge results in ‘sugar bloom’, which is where sugar rises to the surface.
