Why does chocolate sometimes get a whitish coating when refrigerated?!
i think it has something to do with being left out of the fridge and then being put back in, but im not really sure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
This is called "bloom" and it does not spoil the chocolate in any way other than aesthetically!. There are two kinds of bloom: fat bloom and sugar bloom!. Fat bloom is caused by the crystalline structure of the cocoa butter breaking down and some of the cocoa butter migrating to the surface of the chocolate!. This will cause a grey appearance!. Chocolate that has been kept in a place that is too warm or that has temperature fluctuations will often have fat bloom!.

Chocolate shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator!. Instead keep it in a cool place, like in the pantry!.
The whitish coating is called "bloom" and doesn't mean the chocolate is spoiled!. You can still eat it and it'll still taste fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's the cocoa butter separating from the candy!. The more the temperature changes the more it separates!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
