Chocolate Chips Turned White in Freezer

RE: Chocolate Chips Turned White in Freezer By Arizona Survivor (45) Contact The chocolate turns white and is called "bloom". It does not affect the taste or quality. This is when the fats in the chocolate separate from the cocoa powder. Chocolate can get this bloom even when it has not been frozen.

If it is sealed well, put in the refrigerator for a few hours and then in the freezer and then the reverse when you remove it, it's not supposed to get the white on top. I have heard this from a few different sources, but haven't done it yet myself. Posted on 12/26/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Chocolate Chips Turned White in Freezer By GRINGA (9) Blog! Contact Chocolate should not be stored in the freezer that is why it is white does not affect the taste but stays streaky when melted and re frozen. The moisture makes the chocolate turn white.

Hope this helps! Smoochie Posted on 12/26/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Chocolate Chips Turned White in Freezer By perfume and powder (568) Profile Contact Yes. Maybe they don't look as tasty but that white stuff doesn't affect the taste.

It really would be better to use in chocolate chip cookies or in something baked rather than for candy making as it may have a GRAINY texture. They usually don't advise using it for candy making. If you do try to go ahead and make some I would make sure to let them come to room temperature and that there was no water moisture on them. If I was making fudge just for myself I think I would try it unless the cost of the other ingredients was pricey...in case they dont turn out. Then again I like eating the mistakes. :-) If it is for a gift I think I would just buy some new chips. Here is a recipe for brownies that used 'failed fudge' if all doen't go well: http://www.floras-hideout.com/recip ... cipes&data=f-g/Failed_Fudge_Brownies GOOD LUCK TO YOU !
