Despite what companies like Cadbury lead the common folk to believe, a world where all matter is chocolate is not scientifically sound nor, as you will see, a desirable habitat to live. Although one may argue that different types of matter may be substituted by different types and flavours of chocolate, most chocolate is made up of the same basic ingredients -- fermented coco beans, sugar, milk and so on. Each of these is made up of a small handful of basic molecules. In a world of chocolate, our universe would not consist of 118 elements, it would only contain a small few. I would imagine basic elements like hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and so on. This I imagine would have a huge impact on the forming of the planets themselves, let alone the stars. But let's put that aside and assume that planet earth somehow formed in the universe and existed as it does now.
In a world made of chocolate, life as we know it would be impossible. Unfortunately melted chocolate is not an adequate substitute for blood nor can chocolate replace the intricacies of DNA, cells and all the microscopic nuances that make life possible. Chocolate does not conduct electricity so the brain would be completely inoperable. Chocolate doesn't have the strength of bones, nor the 'stretchiness' of muscles. In fact it holds barely any of the properties required for the human body to function. A body made of chocolate simply would not work. But let's assume it would.
Buildings and structures would not be able to sustain themselves under the sunlight. Chocolate has a very low melting point so unless the entire earth had a much colder climate than it does now, a civilisation would be impossible. Bridges would melt in the heat and become one with the chocolatey rivers flowing beneath them. Heat engines (ie car motors) would also be inoperable because chocolate is not a combustible fuel.
All this aside, a human cannot survive on a sole diet of chocolate. And your chocolate teeth would rot. That is all I have to say. Perhaps Cadbury should have considered just what they were doing when they envisaged a world made of their chocolate, it wouldn't be happy or fun at all.
