Can someone tell me why Flakes(chocolate bar) don't melt and just end up burning.

I know they melt eventually if you leave them out,but I want to know why they burn if you heat them up.

WHY?! WHYYYYYY!?

But I'm a bloke.
If I am not allowed to wallow in immature innuendo and vaguely smutty remarks, what will I do?

I will be forced to talk about cars and football and drink beer from bottles and fight.

No, I demand my right to be amusingly non-threateningly cavalier on this forum.

Please, do not take that from me.
I beg you

The fact that the chocolate is wafer thin, has no bearing on what chemical structure the chocolate has - and therefore there's no implication it has weaker or fewer intermolcaular bonds. Furthermore, a lower melting point means it is more likely to melt, and has no bearing on whether it will burn or not. What you need to be looking at is the kinetic stability of the chocolate and the relative enthaly change occuring during combustion.

No.
And with good reason.

I just sellotaped pens to my fingertips and made like Freddy Krueger.

They pay me for this.

Shame on you.


Have you seen a better salad-based pun on the forums today?

Being the source of all knowledge that I am, I can offer an explanation:

Ingredients: Milk, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable mass, Emulsifier E442, Flavourings.

Emulsifier E442, contains Ammonium phosphatides (Phospholipids).

Which apparently stops things setting on fire. Damn.

I guess it's the sugar then.
