When i have my chit chat i like to bite off each end not too much just about half a cm on each side then... i put one end in my hot/cold beverage and on the other end i sip through it like a straw until i can taste my drink once i feel that i have sipped enough drink through it i eat it making my chit chat the best edible straw in the world. It is not only the best straw in the world, it is nice and soft in the middle and the chocolate is still in tact and hasn't melted all in my drink and one bite just melts in your mouth mmmmmmmm delicious.
