There are two types of chocolate bloom - sugar bloom and fat bloom. sugar bloom is when chocolate gets wet and the water dissolves the sugar on top. the sugar crystallizes and forms a white, moldy looking film on top. fat bloom is when chocolate's temperature quickly changes which pushes the cocoa butter to the top forming a white pattern on the surface.
