I stole your idea for coming home. Bought a (huge) cool bag for all my chocolate, but had room in one of the cases so shoved it in there out of the way.
All the chocolate was still rock hard when we got the case home!

As others have said, I believe there can be a greater chance of your suitcase being opened by TSA if it contains the likes of chocolate or other similar items.

I understand it gives off some sort of image or trigger that can set 'alarm bells' ringing with it being an organic substance.

Tends to happen to one of our cases on each trip; find the TSA note inside & all locked up again.
