## Abstract

A shaped heat-resistant chocolate product containing 15% to 35% by weight of at least one edible fat selected from (a) cocoa butter and (b) cocoa butter and at least one other fat, not less than 40% by weight sugar, and not more than 5% by weight of water, wherein said at least one edible fat is present as individual particles which are separated from one another in a sugar glass so that a discontinuous fat phase is present in the chocolate product. The product contains individual fat particles which are separated from one another in a sugar glass so that fat seepage from the product at elevated ambient temperatures is obviated.
