There's no point. Chocolate should not be stored in the freezer. It should be stored in the cupboard, at a temperature around 60 degrees.
The only reason to store chocolate in the freezer is if the house is excessively hot or humid. In that case, the freezer is a necessary evil. The refrigerator is an even worse option--much too humid.
By the way, the white coating ("bloom") that the person above referred to does NOT mean the chocolate has gone bad. It's a sign of improper storage, but it's perfectly fine to eat.

I wouldn't really call this a chocolate bar, but take 1 pound of milk chocolate, 1 pound of white chocolate (these can be candy melt disks, chocolate chips, whatever.. as long as they are 1 pound) and a 16-ounce jar of peanut butter. Melt together in the microwave. You can pour this in a greased pan and cut it into pieces. Or sometimes I put it in mini cupcake liners to give as gifts.. Yum!

Well, in the freezer, they last longer and won't melt. I guess you put them in the fridge, too, but for not as long. Of course, this is usually more commonly done AFTER opening.

They stay fresh. Freezing slows down the aging process, just like putting coffee beans or ground coffee in the freezer.

It keeps them from melting and becoming a chocolate blob on a hot day or near a hot stove and it makes them yummier when your grandkids snitch them while making cookies! :))

every thing has a "shelf life" including chocolate, which will form a white exterior when expired. freezing simply delays the shelf lif, as with anything you dont plan to use to often , i often think of putting my husband in the freezer for special occassions...
