The Chocolate Game is commonly played at children's parties. Sometimes the game is also referred to as "Dog's Dinner" or "Chocolate Boggle.” This game is a great laugh and fun for all ages especially since winning means enjoying a delicious bar of chocolate.
Steps
-
Place the bar of chocolate in the middle of the table. The chocolate should be kept in its original foil and paper wrapper.

Though not as pretty, this simple fix will up the difficulty of the game. [2] X Research source
- Be cautious of the presence of nuts in chocolate. If necessary, check the chocolate is nut-free by looking at the label near the nutritional information.
-
Get all the participants to sit in a circle around the wrapped chocolate bar. [3] X Research source If desired, the chocolate bar can be placed on a plate.

The knife and fork chocolate game is a fun party game where players have to wear a silly costume while trying to eat a chocolate bar with a knife and fork. To set up the game, place a wrapped chocolate bar, a knife and fork, and dress-up items, like a hat, scarf, and gloves, in the middle of a table. To play, have each player roll a die, going round clockwise until someone rolls a 6. Once someone rolls a 6, they have to put on all the items of clothing and try to open and eat the chocolate bar using only a knife and fork. Keep the die rolling while they’re doing that. The next person to roll a 6 then wears the clothes and takes over with the knife and fork. For more tips, including how to make the knife and fork chocolate game more competitive, read on!
