No-Melt Chocolate Created By Swiss

The Guardian:

We have been indulging in it in various forms for at least 3,000 years, arguing over its influence on everything from our sexual appetites to our waistlines.

But now scientists for the world's largest chocolatier believe they have stumbled on the holy grail of chocolate: a recipe that is both melt-resistant and low-calorie.

Sounds like GMO. I'll stick to the 60+ percent cocoa, melty kind. But thanks.

Hmmm. Food engineers or chemists? Manufactured food is the worst. Does no melt mean no way to digest or just real hard to digest? Well maybe in Europe they can keep the ingredients secret. Here in the US I am sure we can make the same chocolate using hydrogenated soybean oils, high fructose corn syrup, olestra, some saccharin, a pinch of petrolatum and some wheat glut gluten all preserved with some tocopherols. Made in the USA baby.

You COULD buy the 'no-melt' Hershey's chocolate bars about 40 years ago . . it was called 'tropical chocolate' and the reason it didn't melt was they mixed it with paraffin (wax). Yeah, guess how it tasted. We used to buy it for backpacking trips, why, I don't know. Something about having a chocolate bar in the Arizona backcountry when it was hot. It was truly terrible, though.

What the F@#! I like chocolate that melts... that's the whole point, it melts in yr mouth! This sounds disgusting... why fix something that inst broke?

[Aaryck]

to make it better...but you can't make the greatest confectionate on earth better. The point is we want it to melt it's the texture in our mouth that makes it just as great as the taste.

sounds like it could help those of us who cannot have commercial chocolate due to insulin issues. I can't wait.

Will Wonka won't like having to retool his factory.

NASA has expressed some interest in this chocolate as a costcutting replacement for the troubled tiles that are currently being used on the shuttle.............

[clsmithj]

no melt chocolate? Simple, just add partially hydrogenated oil to the ingredients.

[MrWampler]

Exactly what I thought when I read the headline.

Sounds like the old K-rat "chocolate" - it was inedible, but it didn't melt in your pockets.

M&Ms were invented to solve this problem - normal chocolate inside, hard sugar shell outside.

Commercial finished...

I don't even have to taste this to know it's probably terrible.

"Suddenly, one of the Oompaloompahs fell into the chocolate river, and was then sucked into the high-pressure pump, where his internal organs were literally ripped out of his throat. But we discovered serendipitously that this led to chocolate which wouldn't melt at temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius...."

What is the point of this?

Leave food alone.

[MidwestMomma]

But there is money to be made. Just think you can ship and store it globally following the cheapest labor markets and avoiding unwanted rules/ regulations. Perfect for the Wal-mart business model! Sigh!

I've invented a food that will just pass right through your system intact with no nutritional value. Want some?

[MelRoy]

Why would they want to? If it doesn't melt, it's unsuitable for cooking and if you eat it whole, you will gag on it.
