Abstract: Provided are a chocolate-like food, which shows little change in viscosity and sustains stable qualities even when transported and stored in a melted state, and a method for producing the same. A chocolate-like food, which contains a large amount of milk components, can be transported and stored in a melted state by regulating the content of non-crystalline lactose to a specific level or below. Further, a chocolate-like food produced by a simple method, said method comprising adding moisture to a chocolate-like food and then heating the same before the completion of a grain refining step, can be transported and stored in a melted state.
