Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen gums could be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits. The infection could have aggravated by the trauma caused by the chocolate while eating or from some other food items or while brushing.
Nothing to worry, consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and maintain the oral hygiene after that. Do saline gargling morning and night.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
