Cadbury Crafts Heat-Resistant Chocolate

[Saregon]

Heat-resistant chocolate has actually been around since the 1930s, when scientists developed a nutritious chocolate bar that soldiers serving in tropical areas could consume. Similar confections accompanied the Apollo 15 astronauts to the moon, and the U.S. military to the Gulf War.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where can I get some of those? Gorging myself on healthy chocolate sounds awesome.

Sorry, but it's nutritious, not healthy. While it does have some benefits over regular milk chocolate, it's very high in energy (calories), made for high-intensity activity. We had the same thing in the army. It's basically pure energy, to give you a boost at times when you don't have the time to eat something else.

Anyway, this is a good thing, next: chocolate with proper chocolate taste, and as healthy as broccoli. That would be sweet (pardon the pun).

I've corrupted all my american friends by bringing dairy milk to them. They now actively search out the imports.
XD

But this is good news! I noticed when I tried dairy milk in south east asia it tasted... Well far from how it should taste.

So then, is a person who is about as useful as a chocolate teapot just that little bit more useful now?

Ok a ten year old came up with this a few years ago in the UK, so that our troops in Afghanistan could have chocolatly goodness

Feast your eyes on this beauty.

It is a rare sight for you Americans indeed.

The rest of the world calls this 'chocolate'

Don't lie to them dude. Dairy Milk is gone forever, and this monstrosity is wearing its skin:

Spoiler: Stupid Kraft

As far as I can tell, they haven't changed the recipe.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but it tastes more like Mars chocolate than Cadbury's to me now. And Mars on its own tastes like the faeces of STD ridden baboons.

Tbh the brand does exsist in America but they don't acutally make the chocolate the same over there, its more kraft-like. To be honest hope we get less regional limetations down the line lets share the gift of chocolate in all its glory across the blobe

Also on a side note lets be happy that the crazy mainland euro types didn't win the battle about real chocolate (in name that is) needing animal fat to be called chocolate as Cadbury's does not and never has. More info in link.

We have these things:

Spoiler

We have 'em too, and the Hershey bars blatantly suck scrotum. You need some class, boy.

 

[Voulan]

cocoa butter, a fat that melts at around 95° F

35° C​

average human mouth is about 98° F

36° C​

places on Earth exceed 95° F on a regular basis

35° C​

can withstand a temperature of 104° F

40° C​

Just to be a pain in the ass.

OT: Interesting...when you think about it, the melting problem does close off a lot of markets for chocolatiers.

Thanks for that, I was about to ask what on earth those crazy temperatures are for people that aren't American.

But this is ingenious. Science has truly created such marvelous things for us all. Although, sometimes I like when it melts.

 

[soren7550]

First thing I thought of when I saw this was M&Ms (melts in you mouth, not your hands).

Hey, I like Hershey bars

Definitely not the best thing around, but they're still good, so I can't really bring myself to care.

OT:

 

[iniudan]

Best solution for chocolate that doesn't melt, if you ask me, is still, a good dark chocolate bar, which is what I get most of the time if I want a chocolate bar anyway, chocolate milk mostly go those with nuts (preference toward walnut) in them, candy bar is Coffee Crisp until the day of my death. (the world, outside of Canada, doesn't know what it miss with their lack of Coffee Crisp)

Spoiler

Lindt is Swiss, Godiva is Belgian.

Herschey's is the only American one in that list, and their chocolate tastes like what I imagine tepid cat vomit to taste like, just like most American chocolate

Which is why I love being Canadian. We get the Euro stuff and the American stuff. and not only in Chocolate. So we get the best of everything.

This.

Milk chocolate has no motivational effect on me. I will, however, indulge in some dark chocolate from time to time. And not Hershey's. What passes for dark at Hershey's is still milk.

 

[weirdee]

who even brought up hersheys as a comparison? that stuff tastes like cardboard butts. probably made out of cardboard butts.
