they still make chocolate bars for the military, I think they are called "Tropical bars" ? they are made of a special dark chocolate that doesnt melt so easy.

I think it probably tastes similiar to Hershey's dark chocolate? soldiers also use to mix these with hot water to make a cup of hot chocolate.

they were chocolate--but I think they were made a special way for military personnel--so they wouldn't melt as fast as the regular chocolate (and yes--so they wouldn't be eaten as fast. lol). And yep, they were also called Tropical Bars.

LOL I remember hearing about it on either Food Network or Travel Channel.....hahaha sucks that it tastes bad, though. But err....even then, I don't think I'd eat it. Call me a chocolate snob but I only eat organic chocolate. I just started this about three or four weeks ago, after learning that most chocolate items (including cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, chocolate milk, chocolate candies, etc.) are produced from slave laboured chocolate. sad.gif
