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!
