If properly stored, chocolate has an indefinite shelf life. Best stored at room temp. in a sealed container. Bloom is the term for when chocolate gets that chalky lighter color to it. This happens when tha chocolate has been subjected to very quick changes in temp. Bloom doesn't affect the flavor of real chocolate, but can make chocolates that include parafin or other waxes taste funky.

I once had discovered a box of chocolate from the refrigerator that have been frozen for possibly 2 years and they still look the same. I suggest you throw them away if they look chalky. You won't get poisoned or anything. It's just not good to eat it.

I'm sure it's fine. If my chocolate grew white mold, I'd still eat it; it's the green mold one must worry about...or so I've heard from the old neighbor lady when I was a child.
