Chocolate That Doesn't Melt?
Ok, I have a pair of articles here on this new chocolate they managed to make that doesn't melt. First the articles, then my feelings on the subject.
So, chocolate that won't melt. Gotta give it to the scientists, that's a neat trick. And I have got to say that I hope I NEVER have to eat the stuff. I can see that it has uses, but one of the great charms of chocolate is how it melts. I don't want chewy chocolate. I like melty chocolate. The melt is important to the entire experience and without it I won't enjoy it near as much. I know, I know, if I don't want to eat it I don't have to and I should stop kvetching about nothing. I just don't like the concept is all.

Maybe you give them to little credit William. The way to do it would be to make it melt as result of the enzymes in your saliva. So it would melt in your mouth not in your hand or car.
It wouldn't have to be hard or chewy either, you could pick your hardness to be the same as ordinary chocolate in the 0-25 degrees centigrade range.
I doubt they have done that yet, but one day we will have perfect chocolate. It will cheaper too since they won't need to keep the transport chain cool.
