1. Process for producing a chocolate or chocolate-like product comprising mixing together components of chocolate or chocolate-like product to give a flowable powder mixture, wherein the components are selected from the group consisting of cocoa solids, milk powder, sugars, sugar substitutes, cocoa butter, fats, cocoa liquor and mixtures thereof,wherein the components to be mixed together have a particle size of 150 μm or less,wherein the powder mixture is a non-Bingham plastic material, and feeding the flowable powder mixture to a roller compactor wherein the roller compactor comprises a pair of counter rotating rollers having indentations on their surface which compresses and shapes the powder mixture to give the shaped chocolate or chocolate like product, and wherein the shape of the chocolate or chocolate-like product corresponds to the shape of the indentations; wherein(i) cooling is performed during the mixing step;(ii) the flowable powder mixture that is fed to the roller compactor is below room temperature;(iii) the roller compactor is cooled during the compression step;wherein the density of the powder mixture before compression is from about 0.6 to 0.9 g/ml, and/or wherein the density of the chocolate or chocolate-like product after compression is from about 1.15 to 1.55 g/ml. 2. Process according to claim 1, wherein the cocoa solids are selected from cocoa powders, expeller flake and mixtures thereof; wherein the milk powders are selected from skimmed milk powder, whey powder, derivatives of whey powder, full cream milk powder and mixtures thereof wherein the sugars are selected from the group consisting of sucrose, fructose, glucose, dextrose and mixtures thereof wherein the fat is selected from the group consisting of cocoa butter, cocoa butter equivalents, butter fat or fractions thereof, palm oil or fractions thereof, coconut or fractions thereof, palm kernel oil or fractions thereof, interesterified mixtures of the above fats or fractions or hardened components thereof, or mixtures thereof. 3. Process according to claim 1 wherein the components are in solid form. 4. Process according to claim 1 wherein the components to be mixed together have a particle size of about 100 μm. 5. Process according to claim 1 wherein the components comprise a sugar and wherein the sugar is ground before being mixed with other components. 6. Process according to claim 1 wherein cocoa powder, milk powder and sugar are ground before being mixed with other components. 7. Process according to claim 1 wherein cocoa butter and cocoa liquor are used together in a crystalline form. 8. Process according to claim 1 wherein cooling is performed before, during and/or after the mixing step. 9. Process according to claim 1 wherein the flowable powder mixture that is fed to the roller compactor is at a temperature below room temperature, from about 10° C. to about 20° C. 10. Process according to claim 1, wherein the chocolate or chocolate-like product comprises fat in an amount of from about 5 to about 45% by weight. 11. Process according to claim 1 which does not involve liquefying the mixture of chocolate components. 12. A chocolate or chocolate-like product obtainable by a process defined in claim 1 wherein the particles of chocolate components have a particular size of less than about 150 μm. 13. A chocolate or chocolate-like product according to claim 12 wherein the chocolate components have a particle size of about 100 μm or less.
