The present invention addresses the problem of providing: an oil and
fat composition for chocolates having excellent
hardness, snapping properties, melt-in-the-mouth texture, lasting
flavor (taste and
aroma), and bloom resistance; and chocolates. The oil and
fat composition for chocolates contains oil-and-fat A that satisfies all of requirements (a1) to (a5) and oil-and-fat B that satisfies all of requirements (b1) to (b5). (a1) The
fatty acid content having a
chain length of 14 carbon atoms or less is 40 to 70 wt% in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat A, (a2) the
saturated fatty acid content having a
chain length of 16 carbon atoms or more is 25 to 50 wt% in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat A, (a3) the
unsaturated fatty acid content is 10 wt% or less in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat A, (a4) the weight ratio of the
saturated fatty acid content / the
unsaturated fatty acid content is 10 to 40 in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat A, (a5) the
triglyceride content, in which the total
carbon number of the constituent fatty acids in triglycerides is 40 to 44, is 30 to 50 wt% in the total triglycerides of oil-and-fat A, (b1) the
fatty acid content having a
chain length of 14 carbon atoms or less is 5 wt% or less in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat B, (b2) the
saturated fatty acid content having a chain length of 16 carbon atoms or more is 20 to 65 wt% in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat B, (b3) the
unsaturated fatty acid content is 30 to 80 wt% in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat B, (b4) the weight ratio of the saturated
fatty acid content / the unsaturated fatty
acid content is 0.25 to 2 in the total constituent fatty acids of oil-and-fat B, and (b5) the weight ratio of the
triglyceride content, in which the total
carbon number of the constituent fatty acids in the triglycerides of oil-and-fat B is 50, to the
triglyceride content, in which the total
carbon number of the constituent fatty acids in the triglycerides of oil-and-fat B is 46, is 0.1 to 50.
