How to eat chocolate 'correctly' as experts say Brits have been eating it wrong

Most of us are breaking the golden rule when it comes to our favourite snacks

Chocolate is one of the nation's most beloved treats, but experts have revealed that millions of Brits have been eating it the wrong way.

Rather than keeping it in the fridge, where humidity levels are too high, the sweet snack should be stored at an optimum temperature of 18C, reports Wales Online. The food expert also claims 11am is the best time to eat chocolate, as cacao contains caffeine and sugar, making it a good pick-me-up ahead of lunch - something one in five do. Food scientist Natalie Alibrandi said: “Chocolate is a deep and complex delicacy with many layers to be explored.

But while 74 per cent claimed to be ‘chocolate chewers’, according to experts, this will limit the duration of the sensorial experience. Instead, you should allow chunks to melt in the mouth, so that the flavours can develop, giving a more indulgent experience. Mixing different types of chocolate is another rookie error. To help educate Brits on their choccy misdemeanours, Galaxy has teamed up with wine expert Olly Smith for a video explaining the ‘Ten Commandments of How to Eat chococolate’.
