It would, if the bulb were close enough. An incandescent light bulb emits up to 95% of its energy as heat, rather than light. But at the distance that most light bulbs are from us (i.e., six or more feet upwards, on the ceiling), we don't feel that heat very strongly, so it doesn't melt an object if the ambient air is well below its melting point. Still, incandescent lighting does cause air conditioners to have to work harder in the summer, and a lit bulb is very hot to the touch. If Hershey's chocolate were placed close enough to a powerful enough light bulb, it would indeed melt.

because its supposed to melt in your mouth and not under incandacsent light.
