Yeah, when the ice cream melts, and the water evaporates… they will both burn

Take 100 calories of wood and 100 calories of ice cream. Burn them in a fire. Are they the same? The wood lights up and generates more heat. The ice cream melts and soaks up heat. Since calories are calories, shouldn’t the fire react the same to putting wood in as putting ice cream? Isn’t this following the ‘first law of thermodynamics’?
