[pct-l] Chocolate in desert?

[Steel-Eye]

Good evening, Eric,

I don't fight it.  I leave the chocolate bar out where it can melt then, when I'm ready, I bite off a corner of the wrapper and squeeze it into my mouth.  It works with the regular Hershey wrapper-and-sleeve package but be careful how you handle it.  The newer sealed plastic wrappers would be great.

My favorite is the dark Dove miniatures, but I haven't tried to melt-'n-squeeze them.  They have a foil wrapper so it might work fine.

  Is it an absolutely terrible idea to take any chocolate into the desert?  I typically put Dark Chocloate M&Ms into my gorp when I make my own.  It'd also be nice to have a few squares of dark chocolate for desert.  Will I have to ditch these ideas until KM, or wind up with masses of melted chocolate threatening to make a mess all over my gear?  I've considered burying it in my pack, but I'm not sure how much this will help in 90deg weather.  I will be using an umbrella, but I'm not sure how much shade cools down the temp.
