Cadbury FINALLY confirms if chocolate should be kept in fridge OR cupboard
The debate has been settled!
Last updated 22nd May 2020
It's been an ongoing debate for as long as we can remember, with some chocolate lovers storing their favourite bars in the cupboard, and others keeping it safe in the fridge, but until now we've never really known the correct way.
Although most food products in the UK do include storage guidelines, let's be honest, we tend to just go with whatever we prefer, especially with products like chocolate, tomato ketchup and eggs.
But now, chocolate giant Cadbury have settled the debate once and for all, whilst replying to a chocolate fan on Twitter.
As a chocolate-loving Australian tweeted Cadbury Australia asking the all-important question, the popular brand replied, saying, 'Hi Bruno. Chocolate should always be stored in a slightly cool, dry, dark place such as cupboard or pantry at temperatures less than 21°C to ensure the quality isn’t compromised'. (sic)
Despite the official confirmation that chocolate should be kept in cupboard or pantry, chocolate lovers continued to express their opinions....
One user wrote, 'Finally', with another writing, 'thankyou, it belongs in the cupboard!'.
However others weren't so sure, with one user adding, 'I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree', with another adding, 'Request denied'. A third added, 'It’s hard when the chocolate melts'.
Check out all of the discontinued chocolate bars we need to make a comeback:
Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM. Despite a petition being launched to bring back the bar, Cadbury said: "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business. Our Spira bars were discontinued several years ago but we still have plenty of other delicious sharing bags for consumers to choose from!"
Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
Cadbury Dream
Despite being one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas, Dream bars were replaced in 2008, leaving fans gutted! Although different variations have appeared over the years, there's nothing quite like the original!
Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! In 2024, some shoppers spotted a bag of 'Fuse Mini Treats' in B&M, but the original has been discontinued for 20 years!
Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?! In 2018, Twix Top seemingly made a comeback, but it looks like they are unavailable again!
Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap! Although Cadbury Snaps discontinued in 2010, there's a lot of similar alternatives in different supermarkets today!
Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
Texan
The mighty chew.
Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
Galaxy Truffle
The fan favourite was inexplicably removed and replaced by Twix in Celebrations tubs back in 2011. It's clear that some people are not over it as a petition was made in 2018 to bring the chocolate back.
So, the question is... Do you store chocolate in the fridge or the cupboard?
