A group of anthropomorphic chocolate soldiers march off to war. They exit their settlement in a parade formation, as chocolate women cheer them on. A soldier receives a kiss from a woman and partially melts. The chocolate army attacks a fort defended by anthropomorphic cookies. Despite using siege equipment, all efforts by the chocolate army to enter the fortress fail. The chocolate army offers a dove-like statue as a peace offering, and the cookie army celebrates the apparent end of the war. The statue is actually a Trojan Horse-like device that smuggles chocolate soldiers into the fortress. The cookie army surrenders, and its men are transported as prisoners-of-war back to the headquarters of the chocolate army. Numerous chocolate soldiers have disfiguring wounds, but they are happy that they won the war. As they parade, the anthropomorphic Sun decide to intervene. Sunlight melts away the chocolate soldiers, and there are no apparent survivors. The film ends with their melted remains.
