Here is the chocolate themed unit study that my kids and I did the week of Valentines. I'll add pictures later when my computer is up and running.
We did this study using the Chocolate lapbook from Hands of a Child as our spine. You can find our finished lapbook here.
These are the links or what we used for each activity in the lapbook.
We used the Biography pages from Edhelper to do a biography on Milton Hershey
We also made Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies, smores, ate some Valentine's Day candy and drank chocolate milk. Needless to say, we all had a sugar high this day. We also watched both versions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
We read Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith and did a little study of the book which you can find here.
Matt did some math using the M&M math book as well as M&M's. He was eating them while working through the book.
Here are a few links that are chocolate themed that we used a little of, but are filled with a ton of info including virtual tours of chocolate making factories:
Chocolate Theme There is also a webquest for Chocolate fever here.
There are a ton more places out there, but these offer virtual tours. Just do a Google for Chocolate and see all the wonderful things that pop up.
