melty
Becoming warm puddle
Melty describes something in a soft, yielding state from heat—not fully melted but getting there: melty cheese on a burger, melty chocolate chips.
The word is informal and evocative, often used for foods at that appealing moment between solid and liquid.
It can also describe a warm, soft emotional state: feeling all melty inside.
