Hey Gumshoes! Zack here and I need your help! ACME Crime net just got a mysterious riddle. See if you can solve it:

An accidental invention from a woman with a GRAVE name and who worked a Toll House. These sweet threats owe their popularity to a special ingredient that did not melt when it should.

What is this treat, and what was the ingredient that did not melt?

 

[Jade]

Chocolate chips and the ingredient is cocoa powder?!?! (I'm not that much of a riddle solver)

 

[Zack]

That is... CORRECT! Partly.

Chocolate Chip Cookies is right, but what was the exact type of chocolate that wouldn't melt?

 

[Jason West]

@Zack would it be White Chocolate?

 

[Julie Justice]

Chocolate Chip Cookies with M&M's? (M&M's is supposed to "melt in your mouth, not in your hands."

 

[Zack]

You guys are getting warmer but still not right yet. Keep guessing!

 

[Jade]

I've figure it's not bittersweet chocolate...It's semisweet chocolate pieces?!?! Oh butterscotch what am I saying?!?! I give up Zack you win *grab herself a couple of carrot sticks and a bottled water*

 

[Jason West]

What about high cocoa content dark chocolate?

 

[Julie Justice]

Hello Jason. Hello everyone.

According to what I just found on Yahoo!! answers, white chocolate melts first; then milk chocolate; then dark chocolate. But I will keep looking.

 

[Julie Justice]

You could use chocolate milk or condensed milk; neither of those things would melt, due to their consistency.

 

[Zack]

So close, so close. You're almost there guys.

Take a look at the clue again: An accidental invention from a woman with a GRAVE name and who worked a Toll House. These sweet threats owe their popularity to a special ingredient that did not melt when it should.

What is this treat, and what was the ingredient that did not melt?

One more clue: Jade was right that it is the Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Julie was closest to the second question by giving a brand.

 

[Jade]

Nestle!?!?!
