Does chocolate go bad?

Well.. Not really no, only if it has been there for a REALLY long time! Like 10 years or something. Depends on stuff like if its opened, location, location, location! You got probaly save it for shit loads of time in a freezer!
 
If its milk chocolate, the milk product (the calcium I guess?) goes bad, thats when it turns the chocolate like white and weird. I got a snickers bar one time and it was super white and was gross. Not cool.
 
I worked at a chocolate shop, and we would store most chocolates at least a few months after they were dipped before they hit the shelf, creams in particular, because they dip a dough like substance into chocolate and it turns into a liquid after like 5 months of aging. That white stuff on old chocolate doesn't mean that it is going bad, it is just the cocoa butter separating from the chocolate. I had to brush the stuff off of most chocolates before I brought them from storage to the shelf. After a really really long time if it gets really white it may make the chocolate less "melty" and kind stale, but it is nothing that will make you sick.
God I hated that job.
