Cool video, with great tips. Myself, I just vacuum-seal chocolate candy in glass jars, or heat seal in mylar bags with O2 absorbers. Last month I opened up a couple bags of M&M's; one plain and one Caramel. Both simply vacuum sealed in ordinary Food Saver bags without oxygen absorbers, way back in December 2017. Their best-by date was November 2018. Both bags had started to leak a bit, but in spite of that both flavors of M&Ms tasted excellent. And this was five years past their best-by dates. They were kept in my basement all that time, BTW.

I dont know much about chocolate but it might be interesting to try to recreate the structure with the fat level where it should be like add back cocoa butter or something like that. Also interested, since the properties changed, did the nutritional info change? Does it still the calories and fat it had?

Milk chocolate is about one third fat (cocoa butter), and the fat binds the other finely powdered ingredients together into a solid bar. Fat will not dissolve in water. So whatever free drying did to the chocolate it seems to have lost the fat somewhere along the way.
@Philat4800feet

I think you're right that the fat is bound to something else or did the elements of fat (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) had their bonds broken and became something else?

I expect that the fats in the chocolate have transformed somehow when FDed. I wonder if you could restore it the same way you do seized chocolate, by adding cocoa butter back in. No idea what the ratios would be though.

As someone that makes their own chocolate, I find this offensive. Great work though. I don't believe everything people say that can and can't be freeze dried. But if you didn't remove any of the fats will long term storage be affected? I suppose it won't bloom. Does it melt liike normal chocolate? I hope you know I now have to try this to see what it can do. I'm also curious what you mean about your allergy would kill most women? Just because women love chocolate, or it is physiologically different for women?

@@Philat4800feet sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I tried the experiment and it was totally successful. I used the cheapest cooking chocolate I could find in fear of wasting it, so the final results didn't taste great, because the chocolate didn't taste great before I started. It did expand quite a bit. As you said, it seems to have a slightly higher melting point now, it certainly doesn't melt easily in your hands like untempered chocolate would. I was also surprised that it felt "oily" like normal chocolate as it melts in your mouth. I expected it to be dry and powdery like chocolate that has bloomed. Effectively it is very similar to Aero bars, if you know what they are. Really good experiment. I don't know if it is useful to all the preppers out there, but as a fun textural difference it was a success. I've had most of it just sealed in a plastic bag for 3 or 4 weeks now and it seems like ir will last on a shelf the sae as normal chocolate, but only time will tell.
