S.O. Ogunwolu and C.O. Jayeola, food scientists at the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, have mixed cornstarch with cocoa to produce a heat-resistant chocolate that they say compares "favorably with conventional milk chocolate in terms of color, taste, smoothness and overall acceptability."
And, my favourite part:
Quote:I'm not quite sure what this says for the priorities of the military.
One of the earliest of these culinary offensives occurred in the midst of World War II, when the U.S. Army commissioned research into the creation of a chocolate that soldiers could eat on the go.
[. . .]
During Operation Desert Storm, Hershey's Chocolate tested a high-temperature chocolate capable of withstanding 140-degree temperatures. It was dubbed the "Desert Bar," but troop reactions to its taste were mixed.
If this is where our tax dollars are going. . . Actually, I'd be pretty pleased.

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

But melted chocolate is always tastier (if messier) than solid chocolate.
That's just one woman's opinion, though.

melted chocolate is best used for a dessert topping (like angel food cake)

I must disagree; it is best eaten with a spoon.
Or on strawberries.

strawberries I'll give you, but the last time I ate melted chocolate with a spoon it was solid again by the third spoonful, so: not worth the trouble
at least in my book

Hmmmmmm, well you either ate it too slow or didn't melt it right, then.

"chocolate paint" or honey are much better suited to such activities.
