Cold Chocolate

[STEbbq]

Who else always places their preferred chocolate in the fridge and eats it cold? My favorite commercial bar is Cadbury’s Dairy Milk.

Room temperature chocolate just seems like it is missing something.

I suspect scottranda must have a view here.

I have very sensitive teeth, so I don't chew anything cold.

My wife buys the gigantic bags of chocolate chips and leaves it in the freezer. This is usually her dessert. Me, I can eat chocolate either way. Chocolate is good

[smokin fool]

I'm always in trouble here with my chocolatism, I gotta sweet tooth and no will power.
Presidents Choice brand milk chocolate chipits are always in my cross hairs.
Any brand chocolate bars but Lindor's are especially good.
Room temp or out of the fridge, they're all fair game around here

I'm with smokin fool on this one...

Any chocolate is good chocolate. However, if I had a choice I would prefer cold and in some cases frozen...

Frzn Reese’s p-butter cups😋

I have a few in the freezer now...

I like them cold but will eat chocolate most any way. Ghirardelli’s caramel squares are pretty tasty. And I like the Lindor chocolates too.

Chocolate high roller!

There’s a bag of both in our pantry, about 3/4 eaten

Rarely do I keep chocolate out of the fridge once I get it home. During the winter I don't heat my entire home except for a little heat at my desk in my room, and so I can generally leave stuff out and it'll be chilled enough.

I like dark chocolate and chili. Lindt has one, and the Tabasco one is OK. I prefer it at room temp as you can taste the chili better.

[Old Glory]

I prefer it room temp even a little soft.

[Brisket Syndicate]

I love frozen Kit Kats and frozen peanut M&M's.

[scottranda]

Ya darn right I have a viewpoint. Cold chocolate loses its flavor when cold. Just like when wine is too cold.

(disclosure: will eat chocolate no matter the temp if offered)

[bbqLuv]

Wine and beer. Okay

[Allon]

And then there's ice cream with candy already in it!

I used to add peanuts to my chocolate ice cream growing up. Who knew?

[Attjack]

I'm the exact opposite, I don't feel like I can taste cold chocolate at all. If I take a sip of cold milk and then a bit of chocolate I can't taste chocolate.

When food or drinks are at extreme temps (hot or cold) they lose flavor - or more accurately, we lose our ability to taste.

Think about that cup of coffee that’s blazing hot…not much flavor, just burning your taste buds. But once it cools down to a reasonable temp the full flavor comes out.

Or think of that ice cold beer…near flavorless. But once it starts to warm a little the flavors come out to be enjoyed.

Milk chocolate - which I’m not a fan of in any way - needs to be cold/frozen for me to eat (lowers flavor) but dark chocolate is rich and wonderful at room temp.

I prefer dark chocolate at room temperature. My wife used to work for a company that distributed chocolates worldwide. I got spoiled on some Belgian stuff not sold in the U.S. and haven’t found anything that matched it since she retired.
