Chocolate melts like many things when it gets warm. Thermal energy is directly proportional to kinetic energy, and kinetic energy is proportional to particle velocity (or Urms the Root mean-square-speed). Chocolate is melting when its particles are energized and begin to move faster due to the temperature, and is simply changing state from solid to liquid, like any other substance might.

Answer Nothing. Melting does not alter the chemistry of any compound. High temperatures may change a compound so that when it cools and hardens into a solid it may be different. Chocolate can melt and when it is placed in the refrigerator and cools, it will have a white coating on it that tastes different to me. I can't explain this except that the original chocolate was probably cooled at the right conditions to prevent this from happening and it was the heating process that altered the chocolate.
