Another strange question I have to ask:

Do you know any kind of chocolate so hard that can break a solid wall? I am not joking.
I am just curious to learn if this kind of chocolate exist.

Thank you for your time.

Hmmm...maybe the old military chocolate. They made it durable, and deliberately didn't make it too nice to eat, so soldiers wouldn't snack on it.

Otherwise, why would you want to make chocolate like that?

What else. Revenge

Just joking. But seriously, none wondered how hard a chocolate can get?

Antarctically-frozen chocolate. To make your chocolate as hard as possible without risking making it brittle from use of nitrogen, take it to the coldest temperatures and let nature bind its molecules closer and closer. I'm fairly certain you could make a block of it in Siberia, attach it to a shaft, and call it a sledgehammer.

If you mean hardest in the world to eat, I'd have to say whatever crap gets put into Yorkie bars. For the physically hardest, probably chocolate from ration packs, either British or US Army. Extra points if it's more than a decade past the expiration date.

To be honest, I wanted to learn if a specific type of chocolate exist which can break a wall.
Not because it get very frozen.

I think such thing doesn't really exist. Cocoa being mainly fat, which is quite soft - unless you freeze it.
Maybe some of the darkest chocolate brands would be your target. Get some fresh dark 90% chocolate block and let it dry out in cool air for month or so - it will turn into something that will shatter if you bite or break it, but stays as quite solid block from blunt hits.

Maybe you should go to nearby University library and find this book:
"Chocolate Science and Technology - Afoakwa, E. O. (Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, PhD)- 2010

I shit you not this book exists - if you really want to find your answer - there you go.

I guess you could do it by mixing resin and cocoa powder? Would be hard as shit and still technically chocolate.

Fucking Toblerone. You could smash a hole in someone's skull with the point.
I know this might sound like a joke but I know someone who broke a tooth on toblerone so if honed to perfection in the right temperatures...I'm placing my bets on this pony.

Actually, this is a job of NATURE, to leave the chocolate get frozen.
But then again this is could be a job of SCIENCE if you use a cryogenic chamber for your chocolate..........what the f*ck I smoked...

Maybe in this book I can find a way to create a Chocolate Golem.
The kids would go bite it, but they will break their little teeths for the 50+ Natural Armor the golem have.

It's science because it's an experiment and not a creation that happens IN nature.

Define "solid wall"? Drywall, 2by4s, Concrete Block wall?

I think a large mallet/hammer of hard chocolate could go through the wood, but I really doubt even the hardest chocolate frozen would be enough for concrete. Maybe a poorly done/loose ordinary clay brick wall?

You know what this calls for? A cannon that fires chocolate cannonballs! Mythbusters should totally do this!

Either way, you are ruining someone's day, some where, sometime. Especially if it is a wall.

I'd say you probably won't manage to make chocolate hard enough to "break a wall". The reason is relatively simple: at it's heart, chocolate is just sugar. While it can be tempered to have various melting points and can be made relatively hard through manipulation of temperature, the result is a relatively fragile crystal structure unsuited to bearing shock. To see just what you could conceivably manage, just look at pure crystalline sugar - I'd wager you aren't going to get anything more durable than that. Adding chocolate to the mix would undermine the resulting hardness as would the introduction of fats.

In the simplest possible way, the hardest "chocolate" would likely be a hard crack stage candy with just enough cocoa to be called chocolate. As you transition towards more common chocolates, especially into the milk chocolates, hardness at any given temperature is going to drop. Of course, if your goal is to break something, it matters little how hard your object in question but rather how much of it you have and how hard you swing it.
