My Dad told me that he always enjoyed the chocolate bar in his rations during World War II. He was in New Guinea, and many times they be all melted but the soldiers would still eat them anyways.
An article on the chocolate bar which was made by Hershey is at:

Some nice American GIs shared their chocolate bars with German kids after WWII. My Mom still remembers them and even more so the chewing gum they also shared, which was completely unknown to German kids until that time.
