Ack, you’ve probably been storing your chocolate all wrong! Go eat it all and in 15 minutes I’ll tell you how to keep the next batch!
Should chocolate be kept at room temperature or chilled in the fridge? A New Zealand based chocolate expert and judge, Luke Owen Smith, says even in a heat wave, it's best to avoid storing chocolate in the fridge at all costs. Instead, chocolate should be stored in a 'cool, dark and dry place' but, not chilly as 'extremely cold temperatures can mess with the temper as much as hot temperatures can'. Also avoid storing near anything smelly as chocolate absorbs odor. He adds if you must keep it in the fridge, be sure to bring it out and let it get to room temperature before eating.
