I don't keep chocolate in the fridge, but I do keep a lot of it in the freezer.  Love frozen Reese's Cups.

I just wanted to circle back on this.  I followed Godiva's storage instructions to put the choclate (one box of truffles -- one box of mixed chocolates) into two plastic bags and put them in the refrigerator.  Both came out perfectly.  Like I bought them yesterday.

Actually, when I saw the word truffle in this thread, I assumed they actually meant the extraordinary fungus that is an unbelievable culinary experience grated on some dishes.  Amazing.   Usually from France, and detected by specially-trained pigs.  VERY pricey.

I got excited because they aren't usually fresh in season this time of year.  

However, I guess the OP actually meant candy.  Oh well.    LOL

NOUN

1. a strong-smelling underground fungus that resembles an irregular, rough-skinned potato, growing chiefly in broadleaved woodland on calcareous soils. It is considered a culinary delicacy and found, especially in France, with the aid of trained dogs or pigs.
2. a soft candy made of a chocolate mixture, typically flavored with rum and covered with cocoa.

Here's the other truffle ............    

If you want to try them as cheaply as possible, go to your local grocer that has a large cheese selection.   Usually you can find a few cheeses that have truffles in them.  I will usually get a small piece of Brie with truffles when they first come in.  It's very difficult to explain the flavor, but if you like to experiment, this should definitely be on your "cheese bucket list".
