That would be a dream though aged chocolate activating
magical power is the gimmick in the Japanese anime "Trouble
Chocolate" which is lot of parody(of other anime) wrapped
around a Pygmalion story...
Of course I hoped the story would have more to do with
chocolate. But I watched it through the end and didn't
fell I had wasted my time too much even though at that point
my knowlege of anime was too limited to fully appreciate the
parodic elements. I think the total is 16 or 17 episodes
on 4 dvds.
