Measure The Speed of Light With Chocolate and a Microwave

I haven't "tried this at home" so I'm not sure of the veracity of this approach to measuring the speed of light. It sounds like a something from the old MacGyver TV show: "A desperate physics student goes off the deep end when his science competition entry goes awry. Armed only with a Microwave oven and a chocolate bar, MacGyver must help the student determine the speed of light and win back his father's love.".
