Urgent Help Needed - Troubles with Tempering

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hi there, I have been working with chocolate for quite some time now and am just starting to encounter a problem lately. I am making large sheets of chocolate and topping with nuts/freeze dried ingredients etc, or mixing some of the ingredients into the chocolate then spreading. My chocolate is coming out looking fine and is testing properly on parchment paper, but after about 2 hours it starts to go whitish grey, with swirls and marks on the surface. It definitely seems to happen more with more inclusions. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong and if there is a way to prevent it.

Thank you Belinda
