InformalWhat is the origin of the idiom "melt in one's mouth" and when to use it?

Its origin is not precisely known, but it is likely derived from the idea that when food is so exceptionally well-cooked and tender, it requires very little chewing, and it seemingly disintegrates instantly in the mouth.
