A food product comprising a substantially solid mass based on chocolate or the like in contact with a wet medium in non-frozen state, with a local free moisture content ranging between 45 and 88%, said substantially solid mass having a low water intake in suitable conditions of preservation. The substantially solid mass of chocolate or chocolate-like product comprises in weight percentages: between 43 and 50% fat; defatted dry cocoa 13%; the weight ratio defatted dry cocoa/(sugars and optionally skimmed milk powder) being less that 0.45 and the solid mass being such that for the aqueous medium, the value (&tgr;) is less than 3, where &tgr;=(−[water]+0.37)×F+(5.25×[water]−1.67)×(S+SMP)+(26.6×[water]−9.6)×C+(61×[water]−14.5)×(S+SMP)×C.
