Wrap your chocolate with foil and then with plastic wrap. Keep the chocolate at a temperature around 60-72°F. The pantry or a dark cabinet is usually a good place for storing chocolate. It has a shelf life of about a year if properly stored.
An airtight container should also be used because chocolate so easily picks up flavors from other foods.
Remember that chocolate is very sensitive; a sudden change of temperature is its Number One enemy. Keeping it in the refrigerator or freezer is not a good idea, but if you do, allow it to thaw gently before using it in recipes.
