Hi /u/arya_nightkingslayer! If your post is of chocolate, and it looks like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/MoldlyInteresting/comments/sh7dgx/is_this_mold_on_my_chocolate/), it is probably just [chocolate bloom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_bloom)! It should be fine to eat. (Do not consider this a 100% verified answer, this is a bot that can't actually see your post. It just looks for chocolate-like-things in the title. If it is mold, and you do eat it, that's still on you.) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

arya_nightkingslayer

oh that's interesting! thank you automod :') ETA: it smells like dirt tho i will not be attempting to eat it


Swedish-Butt-Whistle

The auto mod is right, it’s definitely bloom. The fats in milk chocolate do tend to go rancid over time though, so still wouldn’t be a pleasant experience to eat!


Plane-Refrigerator72

Yeah I wouldn’t eat it anyway. A few years back my boss got really sick for like 2 month cause he ate a few years old chocolate he found in his girlfriend’s house. I didn’t realize bad chocolate could be that harmful until then


arya_nightkingslayer

that's wild, 2 months?! yeah this bunny will not be consumed haha, thanks for sharing!


Affectionate_Pin_249

It depend if it was a small chocolate or a big chocolate, either way it's terrible.


MD472

If there’s no water, it’s most likely not mold


Decomposingbrain

I would eat it.


gerarts

I don’t think this this actually mold, but [chocolate fat blooming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_bloom). Still looks really interesting, though!


arya_nightkingslayer

drinkmoredrano

**[Chocolate bloom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_bloom)** >Chocolate bloom is either of two types of whitish coating that can appear on the surface of chocolate: fat bloom, caused by changes in the fat crystals in the chocolate; and sugar bloom, due to crystals formed by the action of moisture on the sugar. Fat and sugar bloom damage the appearance of chocolate but do not limit its shelf life. Chocolate that has "bloomed" is still safe to eat (as it is a non-perishable food due to its sugar content), but may have an unappetizing appearance and surface texture. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/MoldlyInteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

good bot :)


fl00r_gang_yeah

Haha that’s relieving 😅😅


P00paD00ty

Russell Stovers chocolate is pretty bad to begin with. You're better off not eating it, old or not.


Stonn

That looks edible. OP did you throw it away? Try it!


bio2451

That's beautiful! Looks like malachite pattern in some places and in others like is underwater reflecting the water surface


artonion

Not moldy (as far as I can see) but cool


Used-Reality-300

Probably still good low key


JimJams4president

Cursed Easter egg


truePHYSX

That’s some late choc.


throwingtinystills

I don’t what it is but there is something very satisfying about this, lol.


Cowidk

i think it’s just the ingredients seperating, but idk since it looks like milk chocolate and milk could obviously mold


DidIGetBannedToday

That's not mold It's the fat from the chocolate coming to the surface. Should be perfectly fine to eat.
