struggling (and failing!) not to get chocolate smeared onto everything - because the heat is making more crumbs drop off and then quickly melt.

a lot of chocolate - since it's one of the very few safe foods.

have to consider not eating it for a while again.

this is an intolerable situation.

it is completely unacceptable for British weather to get too hot for chocolate.

sit by the fridge.

the fridge actually pumps out heat. I'd have to sit inside the fridge! Though the downstairs is generally cooler than the upstairs (due to physics).

but the chocolate could stay cool until eaten.

already got a different type of chocolate in there doing just that. But I mostly just want the normal stuff hanging around handily near me - and it would therefore get warm again pretty quickly.

maybe an insulated picnic bag would help.
