This means that a layer of moisture will form on the surface of the chocolate, and when cooled, stickiness will result. The temperature in a refrigerator is too low and humidity too high for ideal chocolate storage we recommend find a cool, dry place in your home such as a cupboard or pantry to keep chocolate. If it is just too hot and you must rely on your refrigerator to avoid a total meltdown of your chocolate, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a spell before eating to get that fabulous melt-in-your-mouth sensation that chocolate offers. The stickiness will not affect the flavor of your chocolate, but will alter the mouth feel slightly. When storing chocolate it is also important to remember that chocolate absorbs any nearby smells or flavors which can negatively affect its taste. To avoid this wrap chocolate tightly with multiple layers of saran wrap and avoid storing it among things with strong odors.
