'flash' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'without moving grabbing a bit of chocolate in a' is the wordplay.
'without moving' becomes 'still' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'grabbing' indicates putting letters inside.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'chocolate' is 'c'.
'c'+'in'='cin'
'still' enclosing 'cin' is 'scintill'.
'scintill'+'a'='SCINTILLA'
