A novel rapid-melt, semi-solid molded composition including at least one binder in an amount from about 0.01% to about 70% by weight; a salivating agent in an amount from about 0.05% to about 15% by weight, a diluent/bulking material in an amount from about 10% to about 90% by weight; and an active material in an amount from about 0.001% to about 70% by weight. Further, the inventive subject matter includes a method of preparing a rapid-melt, semi-solid molded composition comprising the steps of: melting at least one binder in an amount from about 0.01% to about 70% by weight with a salivating agent in an amount from about 0.05% to about 15% by weight, to form a mixture; mixing an active material with said mixture to form an active mixture; mixing a diluent/bulking material with said active mixture to form a final mixture; and molding said final mixture into said semi-solid molded composition.
