Chocolate

Chocolate is a blocker in Candy Crush Saga. It is the second main blocker and one of the most abundant blockers a player will come across whilst playing the game. It is the second most hated element in the game as it grows back every move if you do not break it. It can also disrupt a player's move.

Chocolate can be broken by breaking the candies adjacent to it, or through any special candy's effects reaching the blocker. A toffee tornado can also break the chocolate, as long as it lands directly on the blocker itself. Jelly is often hidden behind chocolates. Candies can enter a square once the chocolate is broken. When you break the chocolate, you earn 20 points (1 point before Polkapalooza was released).

Chocolate is first seen as the item introduced for the 5th episode, Minty Meadow. It is first seen in level 51.

It should also be noted that chocolate can also be created from a chocolate spawner, first introduced in level 156. When the player makes a certain number of moves (2 moves after all chocolate is off the board), the chocolate spawner will generate an individual piece of chocolate, therefore swallowing up a candy within its vicinity. If there is more than one of these chocolate spawners on a particular level, then the chocolate can be created from any of the spawners. This means that the player has no control over which spawner will generate the first piece of chocolate. While he/she can get rid of the chocolate, the chocolate spawners themselves cannot be destroyed. Therefore, getting a chocolate spawner from a mystery candy can make a level nearly impossible to win, especially when it comes out over a jelly, as they can only be destroyed if a jelly fish lands over the chocolate spawner(s).

Locked Chocolate


Locked Chocolate is a variant of this blocker. It first appears in level 52, although it does not appear again for more than 1000 levels afterwards, due to the fact that it officially debuted in level 1056 and only appears in level 52 due to a buff made after the official release (also the buffed version of locked chocolate appears only on mobile, currently). Locked chocolate looks like regular chocolate but is encased in a liquorice lock.

The properties of locked chocolate are quite different in that when a match is made next to the locked chocolate, neither the chocolate nor the liquorice lock breaks. Also, if a match is made that does not break a chocolate, the locked chocolate does not multiply at all. In Candy Crush Soda Saga (which featured locked chocolate before the original CCS, the properties are slightly altered, with the lock acting like Marmalade and chocolate can spread through the lock).

The only way to break locked chocolate is by first breaking through the liquorice lock with a special candy, and then make a match next to the now plain chocolate. After the lock has been broken, the chocolate acts like regular chocolate, multiplying if not destroyed, and can be destroyed by making a match next to the blocker.
 * There is a small difference between versions. In web version, the chocolate will immediately multiply at the end of move of releasing the chocolate, unless you break another piece at the same time. In mobile version, chocolate does not multiply if a locked piece is released, even if there are other plain chocolate on board.

Trivia

 * The chocolate has the words 'Candy Crush' inscribed in it.
 * This blocker is the main reason why level 70 was very hard and level 461 is insanely hard.
 * Level 846 has 64 chocolates to start with; the most compared to any other level. This is followed by level 299 with 57 chocolates along with 10 functional chocolate spawners and 8 useless chocolate spawners.
 * Locked chocolate was initially one of the few items not introduced in Dreamworld until the redesign of Dreamworld level 52.
 * Sometimes, the chocolate will eat special candies even when there are other spaces for the chocolate to expand.
 * This is because the game chooses an adjacent candy for chocolate to eat at random.
 * In the Facebook version the animation of the chocolate growth depends on it's parent. Basically you can see the previous chocolate splitting into another one, unlike the iOS version.
 * It's only helpful in limited cases, one being when it engulfs a hard-to-reach candy bomb to defuse it. This can happen in levels 275 and 303, among others.
 * Another case is when it eats a sugar key, which causes all sugar chests to lose one layer. This can be seen on level 1031 where destroying all keys is the only objective.
 * In reality, chocolates are a very popular well loved gift especially for dating, yet in Candy Crush it is a very terrible element.
 * When chocolate is expanding it looks like molten chocolate, the sound is like a "blub". When you remove it, it sounds like breaking real chocolate ("crack") and it seems, that chocolate has nuts; It falls in pieces over the board.
 * Its multiplication is described as nightmare.
 * It was used by the Bubblegum Troll to block the train tracks in Butterscotch Boulders. It was later used by Tiffi to do the same thing in Starlight Station.
 * This and marmalade are the two blockers which trapped Mr. Toffee's feet in the CCS TV ad.
 * This is the only blocker that appear in the achievement system in my profile (Chocolate Shocker, Chocolate Chopper, and Chocolate Chipster achievement).
 * Despite locked chocolate being a variant of regular chocolate it is still classed as it's own blocker. Currently, locked chocolate is the latest element to be introduced.
