Abstract
The addition of polyol, such as glycerine or sorbitol, to a system containing a low melting point fat or oil greatly increases the viscosity of the fat or oil thereby immobilizing it even at temperatures which are well above its normal melting point. When a polyol is added to chocolate, the resulting product does not stick to wrappers or fingers even at elevated temperatures where the cocoa butter in the chocolate would normally flow.
