Over the (assumed) long period aforementioned easter bunny sat in the closet/fridge/foyer, most of the moisture contained in the chocolate evaporated. I believe that it takes less heat to make (normally) moist chocolate melt than it does when dry. If this is true, then let's take it to its logical conclusion; get some *really* dry chocolate, and make space shuttle heat tiles out of it! 2. The "chocolate easter bunny" was neither a bunny, nor chocolate, but actually a SPACE ALIEN! Great dragons, are you in trouble! A friendly, cute little ambassador from Mars singled YOUR family out for first contact last Easter, and you folks just chomped his head off! Nice going, a**hole, we're probably in for interplanetary war now. No, don't try to explain, we don't need your feeble excuses. Just go give what's left of that little alien a decent burial.
