Both are correct:
Chocolate can be a "count noun" or a "non-count noun". Count nouns are countable. A 1-lb box of Russell Stover candy may have 50 chocolates (pieces of chocolate).
As a non-count noun, chocolate refers to the product itself (like rice, flour, sugar, etc).

Hi Phantom,
'chocolate' does not normally have a plural, but you can use 'chocolates' for these boxes of small chocolates. So both sentences are correct, though a) implies a general meaning (I'll have any kind of chocolate) while b) points to the specific little chocolates in the box in front of you.

There grammatically correct, but the sentence you choose depends on, do you want one chocolate, or more than 1 chocolate.

The first one is correct. Chocolate is spelled the same, singular or plural.
