My favourite top 29 chocolate themed movies, that you can watch tonight with 18 movies with a true chocolate setting or a chocolate in the movie theme and 11 movies with chocolate in the name.
Are you a chocoholic searching for your next movie night pick? Well, you've landed on the right page! Chocolate is my favourite subject and since I've been making chocolates for the last 25 years I've also enjoyed watching many films with chocolate themes.
Whilst I was doing research into my favourite chocolate themed movies, I realised that there are essentially two groups of these films. Some films have a chocolate as their main theme ( for example the film is set in a chocolate shop) and some films whilst they do have a 'chocolate' in their name, the chocolate itself is a metaphor for something else and the film has nothing to do with chocolate.
I've focused on the first group of films that have an actual chocolate theme running through the film, but at the end of this blog post you'll also find a list of all the films (I could find) with 'chocolate' in the name (but no chocolate story line).
Since chocolate is well known aphrodisiac, this 28 best movies list also includes a lot of romantic movies, which are as sweet as any candy bar or delicious hot chocolate!

CHOCOLATE FUN FACTS
What' s your favourite chocolate treat when you go to the cinema or settle down at home to watch a film? With me, it's a Bounty because after I've licked away the chocolate, I can silently slowly chew the coconut to enjoy the flavour and try to make the bar last as long as possible. A Crunchie bar, on the other hand, is just too, well crunchy, and every bite can be heard three rows back.
Buying my favourite chocolate snack bar and candy to enjoy a film or tv programme got me thinking about my favourite movies. For many of us, the cinema experience just isn't complete without diving down into a bag of Revels or Minstrels whilst staring up at the big screen at the same time.
And then that got me thinking about those movies that feature chocolate in one way or another in the film, itself.
There may be a film out there called Chocolate Heaven (I've resisted the temptation to google it to find out) but in the meantime, here's my own personal list (in no particular order) of chocolate at the movies. When chocolate moves from the back seats and up to the big screen for a starring role.
1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1971, 2005)
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) and the remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005, starring Johnny Depp, would be most people's starting point when researching chocolate-themed films.
'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a 2005 musical fantasy film directed by Tim Burton, based on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl.
The movie is about a young boy named Charlie Bucket who dreams of winning a golden ticket that will grant him access to Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory. When Charlie finds a ticket, he and four other children are given a tour of the factory, which is full of fantastical inventions and magical chocolate and sweet treats. As the tour progresses, the children are each eliminated due to their own vices and poor behaviour, leaving only Charlie to inherit the factory.
The film explores themes of imagination, morality, and the power of childhood wonder. The movie received mixed reviews when it was released, with some critics praising the performances and visual effects, while others found it too dark and lacking in charm compared to the original film.
Author Roald Dahl apparently never really liked the original film, starring Gene Wilder. But what's there not to like about sailing on a chocolate river through an edible candy garden where even the grass tastes delicious?
The chocolate river in the film was actually made of 192,000 gallons of water mixed with chocolate and cream. It was so thick that it had to be heated to prevent it from solidifying!
Director Tim Burton's later version was more favourably received by critics, although by then Dahl had departed to his own chocolate heaven. The film's budget was $150 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever made at the time.
But, either film has enough sweet moments for all the family and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
2. Wonka (2023)
The 2023 film Wonka is a wonderful musical that tells the origin story of the world's most famous chocolate maker. Long before he built his giant factory, a young, penniless Willy Wonka (played by Timothée Chalamet) arrives in a grand European city with nothing but a hatful of dreams and a few magical recipes.
He hopes to open a shop in the famous Galeries Gourmet, but he is quickly blocked by a "Chocolate Cartel"—a group of greedy businessmen who control the city's sweets through bribery and corruption. Along the way, Willy befriends a clever orphan named Noodle, and together they use his fantastical inventions to outsmart the villains and share his treats with the world.
Chocolate in this movie is pure magic and even changes how people feel or behave. Wonka creates "Hoverchocs" that make people float in the air, "Silver Linings" that help them stay positive during hard times, and even a "Big Night Out" chocolate that mimics the feeling of a fancy evening on the town.
One of the most impressive things about the film, is that almost all the sweets you see on screen were actually real! The production hired a professional British chocolatier named Gabriella Cugno, who handcrafted over 2,000 individual pieces of chocolate for the cast to eat.
Unlike older films where actors sometimes had to bite into wax or plastic props, everything from the delicate blue teacups to the flowers and tree bark was 100% edible and made with high-quality, natural ingredients.
They even created a massive, lukewarm vat containing hundreds of litres of real liquid chocolate for a scene where the characters had to be dunked. Director Paul King joked that he gained quite a bit of weight during filming because the "props" tasted so much better than they actually needed to!
3. Chocolat (2005)
Chocolat (2005) was critically acclaimed by both back seat pic n mixers as well as the most fastidious chocolate truffle critic. In the film, chocolate serves as a metaphor for guilt, lust and temptation all rolled into one.
Juliette Binoche is the newcomer in a small provincial post war French town, whose arrival to open a chocolate shop during Lent proves too much for the strict mayor (Alfred Molina).
With Johnny Depp as the mysterious river boat stranger, it's a sensual feast for the eyes and a mouth-watering chocolate treat for the lips. The scene where Johnny licks his fingers while Juliette guesses his favourite chocolate is a classic!
4. Like Water for Chocolate (1992)
Talking of mouth-watering moments, leads me to cast my vote for Like Water for Chocolate (1992) or Como Agua Para Chocolate, to give it, it's actual Spanish title.
This Mexican film is a story of three daughters – the youngest Tita is forbidden to marry and must look after her mother. Instead her lover, Pedro is forced to marry her oldest sister Rosaura, but only to stay close to Tita.
The two connect through Tita's cooking and her ability to make other feel the way she does when she prepares the daily meals. Chocolate plays a big part in this film, and Tina is often using chocolate in many of her recipes.
Throughout the film, chocolate is used as a metaphor for passion and sensuality, and it is often shown to have magical properties that affect the emotions and behaviours of those who consume it.
It's earthy and magical at the same time without ever being sentimental. Definitely bitter sweet but worth savouring every bite along the way.
5. Dripping in Chocolate (2012)
A murder mystery and a chocolate - what's not to like? I really enjoyed watching this film, especially the scenes from the chocolate shop.
Dripping in Chocolate" is a British-Australian made-for-television crime drama film directed by Mark Joffe.
A murder happens just a few streets away from a chocolate shop and the only clue is a chocolate wrapper found on the murder victim.
The movie is about a detective named Bennett O'Mara who finds a chocolate wrapper on a strangled girl, which leads him to an enigmatic chocolatier named Juliana Lovece. The chocolatier ends up helping the local police to solve the murder.
As O'Mara investigates the murder, he becomes increasingly drawn to Lovece, but suspects she may be at the center of an increasing murder count. As the investigation progresses, O'Mara must navigate a web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth behind the murders.
The film received mixed reviews when it was released, but I have to say, I enjoyed it. It was a bit slow at times and predictable, but still a perfect choice for a film on rainy weekend afternoon.
6. Easter Under Wraps (2019)
"Easter Under Wraps" is a 2019 romantic comedy film directed by Gary Yates and produced by the Hallmark Channel.
The story follows Erin Cavendish, who goes undercover at her family's chocolate factory to figure out why their sales are dropping. While there, she meets Bryan, the head chocolatier. He's full of fresh, modern ideas that clash with the family's old-fashioned traditions. As they work together on new recipes for the Easter season, their professional partnership quickly turns into a budding romance. Erin's true identity is eventually revealed, and she must decide whether to prioritise her career or follow her heart.
Chocolate is truly the star of the show here, appearing in almost every scene. You'll see plenty of behind-the-scenes footage of chocolate bunnies and treats being made, which is a real delight for any fan of sweets. The film uses chocolate to show the tension between sticking to family history and trying new things. It also serves as a symbol of Erin and Bryan's connection, as their love grows while they're busy creating new flavours together.
The movie has a wonderful cast, led by Fiona Gubelmann as Erin and Brendan Penny as Bryan. It's a charming story about balancing your career with your heart, all while celebrating the importance of family legacy.

For every sensual chocolate scene or romantic candy moment, sometimes directors can't resist using chocolate to get gross and gets laughs at the same time.
Co-written by and starring Kirsten Wiig, Bridesmaids (2011) was widely hailed as a breakthrough comedy that featured the fears, phobias and friendship of women – front on.
