      Yeah, that'll do. It wasn't a great question.

      During WWII they were trying to find a way for soldiers to carry chocolate in their pockets without it melting so covering it in a candy coating was seen as a solution.

      Step up to the mic.

      I was actually listening to one of the adverts a few hours ago and thought 'that guys voice is familiar'. Thinking it was the guy from CSI NY but didn't know his name until I googled it. So I'm guessing Gary Sinise.

      Sorry took so long to reply guys....too a long an Easter! Hank Azaria is the closest but a clue is probably in order....His most famous voice overs to date are in a Matt Groening creation
