Mormons CAN eat chocolate, or it's at least never been specifically prohibited. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are counseled to be good stewards over their bodies, meaning that our bodies are gifts from God and should therefore be treated well. The Church has counseled against drinking caffeinated beverages or other habit-forming substances, but has never instituted this as an official position or a commandment; those who choose to drink caffeine are under no condemnation but are asked to be moderate in consuming it. Because chocolate has small amounts of caffeine, some Church members may choose to abstain from chocolate, but the Church itself has never spoken to this issue. Without an official position to go by, Church members are best to simply follow the general counsel to have moderation in all things; leaders have even echoed a popular sentiment that any virtue taken to an extreme can become a vice.

Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can eat chocolate. They believe in having a healthy diet in order to care for the bodies that God has given them, but most see no harm in having some chocolate or candy once in awhile. Essentially, the only foods they avoid are tobacco, drugs, alcohol, coffee, and tea.

Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" curch) can eat whatever they want. A large majority of Church members choose to follow a health code called the "Word of Wisdom" which they believe was revealed by God.

The Word of Wisdom prohibits the use of tobacco, alcohol, 'hot drinks' (tea and coffee), illegal drugs, and other 'harmful and addictive substances'. It advocates a diet of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and using meats sparingly. Chocolate is never mentioned and is consumed by nearly all Mormons, just not in excess.
