<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [pct-l] Chocolate in
desert?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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.<BR>
