Described is a process for carrying out microwave production of a chocolate flavoring product, the product produced thereby and foodstuffs, beverages and chewing gums containing said product. The process comprises the steps of: (a) providing a composition of matter consisting essentially of precursors of a chocolate flavor (e.g., sugar, leucine and phenyl alanine) and a solvent capable of raising the dielectric constant of the reaction mass to be heated; (b) exposing the mixture of reaction precursors to microwave radiation for a period of time so that the resulting product is caused to have a chocolate flavor; (c) providing a foodstuff, chewing gum or beverage base; (d) admixing the chocolate flavor reaction product of (b) with the foodstuff, beverage or chewing gum base.
