It isn't a chemical reaction, the water dissolves the sugar and you get phase separation into hydrophilic and hydrophobic, much the same as when a ganache is broken. But no chemical reactions I am afraid.

Hi there,

I need some help please. If somebody can tell me where to find some info about the chemical reactions that happen when you mix water with chocolate. I am interested in the chemical aspect of this issue.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
