Yes, no matter how hard you try with the power of an oven, a microwave or the sun; a
According to Science Focus, the Flake's manufacturing process means the way the fat and cocoa solids are arranged is different to other chocolate bars. This means the fat isn't able to adequately lubricate the cocoa particles to the point where they flow, and so it can't melt.
Although Flake is made from milk chocolate, the manufacturing process gives it a different arrangement of fat and cocoa solids, so the melting fat isn't able to lubricate the cocoa particles to the point where they can flow. In a bain marie, a Flake will never melt. In the microwave, it eventually just burns.
So there you have it, Flake's do not melt.
Yep, believe it or not - try as you might, you can't melt a Flake, as shown in the video above, but it will eventually burn if left in the microwave long enough.
Also, not that we need more validation, but another comment on the TikTok helped confirm that Flakes and Twirls are totally different: “You can melt Twirl. But you can't melt Flake. It's a completely different type of chocolate.” That's true: you really can't melt a Flake.
This classy chocolate bar contains airy ripples of smooth Galaxy chocolate that are guaranteed to melt in the mouth.
You are even guaranteed quantity discounts when you buy six or more packs of Cadbury Flake! Ingredients: Milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, whey powder (from milk), vegetable fats (palm, shea), emulsifier (E442), flavorings. Other information: Milk solids 14% minimum. Cocoa Solids 25% minimum.
Flakes are made with dehydrated milk, whereas normal chocolate is made with liquid milk. Trying to melt a Flake will make the chocolate harder and harder until the sugar burns.
White chocolate contains the most powdered milk and milk fats of the three types. As a result, has the lowest melting point.
Manufacturing process
Cadbury refers to the exact process of making Flakes as a closely guarded secret; however, experimental evidence by food scientist Ann Reardon shows that the result can be recreated by seizing chocolate.
Although it tastes identical to other Cadbury's chocolate, it simply will not melt, instead breaking down into a coarse chocolate powder.
A Cadbury rep told The Metro, “Both Cadbury Twirl and Cadbury Flake bars are made with the Cadbury chocolate that we all know and love. “We can confirm they are not one and the same, how each of them are made is a secret though, known only to our brilliant chocolate makers.” So there you have it. Phew.
As you can see, chocolate flakes have a fine consistency that means they gently melt into hot milk to deliciously rich hot choc. However, they can also add the perfect finishing touch to desserts and cakes.
'99' ice cream
A 99 Flake is an ice cream cone, usually made with soft serve ice cream, into which a Flake bar has been inserted. The ice cream is usually vanilla flavoured. They are sold by ice cream vans and parlours.
Soft dairy ice cream, swirled with pieces of Cadburys Flake with Milk Chocolate sauce.

Yes, there's no gelatine or any other non-vegetarian ingredient in this sweet.
If you choose to eat more than 2-3 serves of fish per week it is important to eat a variety of fish, and avoid those that could have elevated mercury levels, such as Shark (Flake) or Billfish (Swordfish, Marlin).
Flake by itself is a low-calorie food, primarily because sharks don't have a lot of fat. It's a good source of protein, healthy cholesterol, and comes with essential minerals like Omega 3-fatty acids.
The ice creams topped with flakes were named 99s in honour of Italy, as in the days of the Italian monarchy the king had a specially chosen guard of 99 men. The number then became a synonym for special or first class, Cadbury claims.
The theory behind the Flake's inability to melt is apparently because it's made out of dehydrated milk chocolate, which means it slowly hardens until the sugar burns rather than melting.
The main difference between Galaxy Ripple and Twirl is the chocolate itself. Twirl uses the fairly average Dairy Milk chocolate, but this is made with Galaxy, which is a much creamier milk chocolate.
"Flakes don't melt because the fats within them are, on a microscopic level, clumped together with the sugar and cocoa. "So when you heat a Flake, the fats can't gather together to form a liquid sheet. And instead, the flake will burn or break down into a powder if heated enough.
