Chocolate is a human delicacy, of which the most important ingredient is cacao, which is derived from the cacao tree. Its main application is in sweets and different kinds of candy bars, cookies and various confectionery.
On numerous occasions, off-world teams have used candy-bars or regular chocolate bars to smooth first contact situations.
