today I wanted to eat the chocolate I left on the windowsill. it had stood there open for several months and now I noticed that it had partially turned lighter and it smells like pickles. If I eat it, will I be fine? those darker parts especially should be edible. when I was a kid a similar situation happened sometimes. every chocolate I got from my grandma looked like this. I used to eat it and I don't remember having any problems, but it was a long time ago so that's probably why I don't remember.

Looks like fat bloom, happens as a result of fluctuating storage temperatures. Leaving it on the windowsil likely exposed it to warmer temperatures during the day, causing the fat in the chocolate to melt and separate out, rising to the surface where it re-solidifies as the temperature drops. Perfectly safe, though the texture of the chocolate may be a little off as it's essentially been un-tempered.

Those white spots at the bottom look like they could be sugar bloom as well, happens when chocolate is exposed to moisture. This dissolves the sugar in the chocolate, bringing it to the surface as the water evaporates and leaving small sugar crystals behind. Again it's safe, though won't have that nice smooth surface texture.

The pickle smell however... I have no clue what could be causing that, are you sure it's from the chocolate? Chocolate doesn't typically spoil due to it containing no moisture, however if it has gotten wet I suppose there could be some bacterial growth. Maybe throw out just to be safe.

Your chocolate has bloomed, the fat is separating.
Melt it and pour it, it will taste good again, but won't have that "snap".
For that you would need to temper it.

It's called bloom and it's just the fat in the chocolate forming crystals and reflecting more light, making it appear lighter at the surface. It's perfectly safe to eat and only affects the visual appearance. Why nobody in a food and cooking board could give you this answer in 31 replies is beyond me.

That is sort of sugar and fat "crystalizing" out of the chocolate as far as I understand. I don't know why it would spell like pickles though, that is concerning. If it tastes foul, spit it out. Our senses are evolved/designed to intuitively tell us what is good to eat.

Could mean the fats went rancid due to exposure to heat and oxygen. Only way to be sure is to taste it.

Oh yes, this is a good guess. Or maybe the pickle smell is related to some acidity of some fatty acids after some fungus broke down the glycogen backbone (which I'm pretty sure is a common thing, after all, there is such a fungus in our scalp).

its socially unacceptable, and i would never tell anyone this irl, but certain processed food can remain edible IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS! i ate an entire little ceasars pizza i got when i was drink, left inbetween my mattresses for a month and a half. it was dry as fuck, and i sprayed it with water to give it some moisture but i didn't suffer any ill effects and while it was stale, it still taste good. but likewise i tried doing it again but left the pizza in a cabnit thinking i'll just do it again but for w/e reason i can't explain it got moldy over a few weeks while my mattress pizza didn't. that said, chocolate ages well, implying bugs haven't been fucking with it. from my experiences, if you live in climate that's not humid you can leave a lot of food out for a day or two and still eat it with no problems, this doesn't apply for certain foods like anything avocados and fish / sushi, but i can say really spicy food a lot of times ages well, and i have a weird thing where if i get high or drink, i leave mcdonalds vaule menu cheese burgers in my car and forget about them, and will eat them 3+ months later with no fucks given (so long as there's no mold or black stuff) and while hard they dont taste all that bad considering.
