tl;dr: There are two types of bloom, sugar and fat. Both result from storing the chocolate wrong, leading to either fat or sugar crystallizing on the surface of the chocolate. And both types influence the texture and taste somewhat but are completely harmless from a health perspective.
Personally I don’t understand how this can happen. Who stores their chocolate long enough?
Its too good to just eat because she wants some chocolate, so it sits there… and sits there… and sits there… while we throw a family block in the trolley each week when we do groceries.

My wife.
Buy her any kind of fancy stuff from a gourmet chocolatier and its guaranteed to go in the bin in 18 months.
Alternatively, don’t chuck it. Eat it or give it to someone who will.
You dont understand, she is saving it for a special occasion.
The special occasion when someone finally gets to use the guest towels?
You should come over, then we can eat some chocolate and wash our hands.
Hell yeah brother. It’d be glorious wouldn’t it?
lol I get it. But really, she isn’t saving it for a special occasion, unless the special occasion is the chucking.
Same here. We have about 10 pounds of chocolate in a storage bin that’s slowly growing stale.
Give her the chocolate then send it to me. :D
does she not like it? or is she saving it because she thinks it’s too precious?

That’s not a divorce-level crime. It’s execution-level.
There is also salt bloom! But that happens on smoked sausage like pepperoni or smokies.
Cigars can also develop a bloom.
Call it bloom if you want, but it is really mold.
You are wrong. It’s ok. At least you are confident!
