Chocolate contains cocoa butter in its formulation that can separate from the other ingredients when subjected to heat. When it cools, the surface of the chocolate can appear cloudy gray or white or have spots on it. This may happen during distribution and/or storage. This instance is called bloom. Although it is not harmful, and could be eaten, the chocolate may have lost its normal, creamy texture and flavor. Please contact us regarding bloom on your Monarch Chocolate Bar bar.
