When provided as an emergency field ration, military chocolate was very different from normal bars. Since its intended use was as an emergency food source, it was formulated so that it would not be a tempting treat that troops might consume before they needed it.

I've heard that Lithuanian military rations contain chocolate made by Rūta and foreigners seem to really like it for some reason.

Wiki entry does not mention it used to turn into white chocolate if stored for many years. Not sure if still does?

I suspect you’re referring to chocolate bloom which can happen to all chocolate.
