- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the melting point of the fat is at least 95.degree. F.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the melting point of the fat is no greater than 120.degree. F.
- 8. The composition of claim 7 wherein the melting point of the fat is between 97.degree. and 101.degree. F.
- 9. The composition of claim 1 admixed with a food product.
