Under regular conditions of storage, chocolate should not grow mold. However, if chocolate is stored for extremely long periods or time or in a warm conditions a white chalk layer of oxidized chocolate may form. This oxidized chocolate is safe to eat, but generally has a poor flavor. However, if there is any doubt about the safety or storage conditions, throw it out.
