Millions of Brits have been eating chocolate the wrong way - with putting it in the fridge the biggest 'no no', according to food experts. Food scientist Natalie Alibrandi has revealed the top blunders people make when enjoying a sweet treat, including tucking into it at night and eating too much in one go.
And chocolate should not be stored in the fridge, as humidity levels are too high. Instead, the sweet spot in terms of optimum temperature was found to be 18C.
The tell-tale signs your chocolate has been stored incorrectly include it lacking a sharp snap when you break a square off. Poorly tempered chocolate will also be crumbly or melt too fast in your fingers.
