OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Crafted as much for the Soldier on the move as it is for disaster relief scenarios, BWE Military Chocolate provides the minimum level of necessary nutrients and calories for active duty soldiers. While not a particularly great tasting example of confectionery (With massive complaints about how difficult it is to chew and how long it takes to melt in your mouth) the product is serviceable in taste enough to make the one consuming it remember that any chocolate is better than no chocolate. Can be used as an unofficial trade item.

- Currency of The Battlefield: Chocolate, even questionable chocolate, is still chocolate. Allies will trade for more of it. Locals will give you stuff you can't obtain via commissary for a few bars
- Health conscious: Packed with the necessary nutrients to keep soldiers going through a day and a half. The wrapping the candy goes in is also resistant to airborne poison and disease/bacteria
- Mental Conscious: Chocolate provides a morale boost to most soldiers
- Hard and tough: The Formula for this is meant to prevent soldiers eating their ration too early, as well as to be temperature resistant to ambient Heat as well as close contact heat from being near a body. Pains were taken to make it as hard and tough as possible, to the point you may well need a hammer to break it up properly, or a vibroknife to cut pieces of it off for consumption.
- Taste: It's not terrible, but it's not something you'll write home about. Enough to make you not spit it out. It's like a really, really, REALLY dark chocolate with less milk content
- Weight: They are dense, which means they are also heavy when transported by the crate
- Tainted currency: You'll have better success trading with fellow soldiers than with locals once locals get enough exposure to its consistency and taste. Locals in warzones will still take it, but only so much of it, and only for small items in exchange, not truly valuable contraband
