1.6 What is this white, blotchy stuff on my chocolate bar?

A white, filmy residue on chocolate is called a bloom. It occurs
when some of the cocoa butter in the chocolate separates from the cocoa
solids, usually when the chocolate is stored in a warm area. If you buy
a chocolate bar and find it has bloomed, don't let the sales person
convince you the taste has not been altered.
