Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate morsels, coated with vegetable oil to give the shiny "melting" appearance instead of the unattractive out-of-the-bag appearance. (My first shots were out-of-the-bag and didn't look very appealing. I liked the look with the morsels "oiled up" much better.)
I fully expect the shallow DOF haters will hammer this...

Hmmm, thought I had commented on this during the challenge. I really like this one. I don't mind the shallow DOF, it's kind of nice, but I don't know about the choice of focal point. Either a deeper DOF, or a focal point at the very bottom of the frame would be interesting to compare. This kind of blurry->sharp->blurry shallow DOF sometimes doesn't feel "right" to me, though I usually like shallow DOF. Good shot though.
So you used vegetable oil, but were the chips also actually melting? I'm thinking maybe not, after looking really close.
Simple but I like the abstractness of it. Melting seems to have been a good choice. Takes away that chalky look chocolate chips have right out of the bag.
