Activities for a chocolate party?

I'm having a chocolate party (tonight!). I've got the chocolate all set, but I'm looking for activities, games, or entertainment. I've got some giveaways but need a unique way of awarding them.
A chocolate trivia quiz, perhaps? Highest score wins!
Watch the movie Chocolat?

Best answer: Give everyone a waffle and a ladle of melted chocolate, and see who can make the best Virgin Mary waffle for ebay?
Identify the chocolate brand by taste, blindfolded?
Jenga, with chocolates? (each chocolate brick you can successfully get out of the tower becomes part of your prize)

Blind tastings? Different flavors or strengths might be easy to pick out, but different brands of a similar strength would be a fun challenge.

I vaguely remember a party game from when I was a kid - I think it was a relay race with two teams racing to eat a bar of chocolate with a knife and fork. I have a feeling there were wooly gloves involved to make it even harder.
Oh, this is it - a bit different than I remember, but I think that's the game.

Damm, featherboa beat me to The chocolate game. Very, very silly, but a lot of fun. And ignore the last bit of that webpage about no one eating chocolate, it takes time to break into the bar (some wrappers are more impenetrable than others) and a bit of practice to get the chocolate to your mouth (hint shovel, don't stab, the chocolate), but the best bit of the game, is that everyone will (probably) get some. Use a bar that can be easily broken up in to squares (in the UK, a 500g Dairy Milk bar is perfect)
For first time players, I'd use thin wool gloves with the proper number of fingers, but amongst my friends and I (yes we play it regularly) we often feature mittens or oven gloves.
If I'm feeling particularly cruel, I use a bag of maltesers. If you do manage to skewer a Malteaser with a fork, it shatters, so you have to shovel them in, and as they are ball-shaped, it's not easy to balance them on a fork when you have gloves on.
If you want to speed things up in a big group, use more than one dice, and make sure you've got a few replacement bars so that everyone gets a chance to get some.

Or a baker's chocolate eating challenge?
Or a challenge to find the weirdest thing that goes with chocolate, but still tastes good?
