Why does the chocolate sometimes get a white layer on top?

Chocolate FAQ
When a thin layer of fat crystals forms on the surface of the chocolate, it is called fatbloom. It means the chocolate has lost its gloss and a soft white layer appears, giving the finished article an unappetizing look. Fatbloom is caused by the recrystallization of the fats and/or a migration of a filling fat to the chocolate layer. Storage at a constant temperature will delay the appearance of fatbloom.

Chocolate contains cocoa butter, a vegetable fat that is sensitive to heat and humidity. Temperatures above 75°F will cause chocolate to melt. The cocoa butter can rise to the surface and form a discoloration called "cocoa butter bloom." Condensation on milk or semi-sweet chocolate may cause the sugar to dissolve and rise to the surface as "sugar bloom." Chocolate that has "bloomed" is certainly safe to use, but flavor loss and texture changes may be noticed.

Contrary to what a lot of people think, none! 'Good' and 'bad' ozone exist (like good and bad cholesterol) but neither plays any part in global warming. The 'good' ozone is to be found 15 km above our heads in the famous ozone layer. This layer is permanent and protects us from harmful ultra violet rays emanating from the sun. The hole in the ozone is produced by chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), chloride gases which up until 1987 were used in aerosol cans and refrigerating systems.
