    How long does it take for chocolate to go stale, and is stale chocolate unhealthy to eat?

    Question #88844. Asked by star_gazer. (Nov 22 07 12:53 AM)

    If DARK chocolate is stored at 60 to 70 degrees F at low humidity, it can be kept for years, probably up to 10 years. If too warm, you may notice a gray surface covering on stored chocolate - this is just 'bloom' - and is simply some of the cocoa butter rising to the surface - it is still ok. If too humid, there may be some tiny sugar crystals on the surface, and this changes the flavor and texture very slightly.
    MILK chocolate will only last about 6 to 9 months before the flavor changes for the worse.
