Ideally, chocolate should be stored at a constant temperature of about 18\u00b0C \/64\u00b0F. When it is not kept at a constant temperature, it will melt and harden over and over again. If this is the case, a white layer called ”chocolate bloom” might appear on the surface. This does not mean your chocolate has gone bad. It just means the fat crystals are rearranging themselves in a visibly different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
