Designed to help the company break in to new markets, the new product has been described as a "game changer" - especially when it comes to selling it in countries where consistently high temperatures make conventional chocolate products more difficult to store and transport."You remove all kinds of barriers for your customers," said chief executive Antoine de Saint-Affrique. "You can transport it more easily. Therefore you can have a different kind of reach."

Whether the new chocolate will prove to be a hit with consumers however remains to be seen.
