S.O. Ogunwolu and C.O. Jayeola, food scientists at the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, have mixed cornstarch with cocoa to produce a heat-resistant chocolate that they say compares "favorably with conventional milk chocolate in terms of color, taste, smoothness and overall acceptability."

One of the earliest of these culinary offensives occurred in the midst of World War II, when the U.S. Army commissioned research into the creation of a chocolate that soldiers could eat on the go.
[. . .]
During Operation Desert Storm, Hershey's Chocolate tested a high-temperature chocolate capable of withstanding 140-degree temperatures. It was dubbed the "Desert Bar," but troop reactions to its taste were mixed.

My sentiments exactly - at least, assuming this is sarcasm.

strawberries I'll give you, but the last time I ate melted chocolate with a spoon it was solid again by the third spoonful, so: not worth the trouble

Try his recepy (dessert for a BBQ):
Make a cut into an unpealed banana (all length), stick two or three pieces of chockolate in the cut and set the banana onto the embers. After a while, the skin of the Banana will be black, the chocolate melted and the banana all mushy. You eat is with a spoon directly out of the skin.

And about non-melting chockolat: we have that already. It's called m&m! So all the taxmoney wasted ...

The Army is researching this for a simple reason, chocolate (and other candies) have very high energy density (sugar high).
