What is the difference between fat bloom and sugar bloom?
Fat bloom occurs when the cocoa butter separates from the cocoa solids and rises to the surface forming a whitish, powdery appearance. When chocolate is exposed to warm conditions, this happens. Sugar bloom occurs when chocolate has been exposed to damp or wet conditions and condensation forms on the surface. The chocolate will have a grainy texture and feel rough. The chocolate is edible, but not recommended for use in making confections.
