I think its a little too oversimplified right now. '''I've refrained from making too many chocolate related items so that I don't give the game a chocolate overhaul. Dark chocolate doesn't use milk, so the simplified recipe just involves cocoa beans. If you have suggestions for new items related to extra ingredients for this recipe, I'm happy to read them, but making this complicated does go against the functional point of this item, meaning its only use is novelty.'''

Also, all chocolate is baked before its ready to eat. I'll make a new thread in the morning about how i think we should fix it being too simple. It will make your mouth water... '''I tried but I couldn't find much evidence of baking chocolate. That being said, I didn't look too hard. I would strongly advise against a new thread about this idea however, as it would cause confusion, just write a long post and I'll edit the first post if we get good enough response.'''

The dimensions are a bit to big. How are you supposed to stuff your face if what youre trying to eat is a big fat hard brick? How about this size: 2x1/2x1? The above suggested size was as big as 3/4 of a loaf of bread. '''Well, this is a LOT of chocolate. If you thought we were making small bars, you were wrong, this is big chocolate. Also, this would look nice aesthetically.'''

1.1 Arent the cocoa pods a little big? Because your robloxian in 5 studs tall then its reasonable to assume that 1 stud= 1 foot. If thats true then a coca pod is 4 feet tall???!!! But then so is bread so whatever... '''You appear to have changed your mind mid-writing. I'll assume you don't mind about this anymore.'''

1.2 This is super minor, but i dont think cocoa beans would burn very well. '''Meh. They're plant life, plants combust.'''

1.3.3 Why not just call it chocolate milk? Because milk chocolate is a solid and chocolate milk is a liquid.

Suggestions: Mint Chocolate Cocoa Bean + Cocoa Bean + Milk + Herb + Herb It has the same stats as regular choclate, but gives 10 health becuse 2 herbs giving 3 health each=+6 health + chemicals in the cocoa such as antioxidants, alkaloids, and serotonin also promote healthiness. '''All good food suggestions always seem to get a herbal equivalent inserted in. I don't feel this necessary as chocolate isn't an item you would associate with healing, so making a version to heal you is pretty strange. I actually considered making it reduce your health on consumption, as its so famously unhealthy. You cant deny the only point of this item is a herbal equivalent, it's the same as regular chocolate, with herbs and a health boost stuck on. Chocolate doesn't need that.'''

That speed boost weve been looking for? Cocoa beans contain caffine! The caffine is not lost in the creation of the chocolate so it could give a speed boost that lasts for a minute and increases walkspeed by 2. This is a realistic way we could implement it and it would be a pain to mass produce so it wont be OP! 'Although I disagree with the "You cant add this, its a drug! :O"'', this idea doesn't appeal to me. Chocolate is a food source, it's only purpose is a food source, the current stats disallow for it to double as a speed booster as it is too based around being a farming food. If we made it boost speed, we would have to make it give much less hunger to avoid making it OP (face it, this is only cocoa beans we're spending, this is remarkably easy to mass produce).'''

'''Plus, look at every single other speed boost suggestion. Failed. Died. With a 7-1 vote in the poll, this suggestion is thriving. If this becomes another speed boost suggestion, this will die too. I like this thread too much to throw it onto the heap of dead speed boost suggestions.''' Hope your ok with me making your post look nicer by the way. I couldn't stand the spelling errors and bad formatting.

For why I didn't include white chocolate, cocoa beans are actually processed before put into chocolate. To make white chocolate white, they remove the vast majority of the cocoa beans. With our simplified recipes, that would mean this: Milk + Milk + Milk > Create Item = White Chocolate For some reason, I doubt that would work.

If you read the post properly Qoazi, you would notice the main point of the chocolate is to be an easily crafted food. The problem is that the resources are hard to get (unless farmed with a good farmer). Since teraphyx and jungle would only have two trees on the island at maximum, assuming you did level your cooking and still need food, and just happened to be on teraphyx island, you could only make two dark chocolate anyway. And anyone with level 4 cooking doesn't need food to begin with.
