Depends how old they are. if they're only children, generally giving them chocolate then scaring the **** out of them, or smacking them with something painful, will do it.
As far as adults go, that's probably harder to do but the same principal applies.

Gidday Mike,
It's an interesting question you got.
Well some people might have answered it with Hypnotise.
Is this for real? if yes, Well tell someone that chocolate can kill by consuming lots of it. Getting huge and fat, high cholesterol, heart attack in mid early age. (sure there is a reference about the bad thing of chocolate - in health issue).
If you tell them in hypothetically explanation, If I were you, I will do a cartoon or short comic strip just like Japanese manga with R rated horror. Imagine a lovely kid eating chocolate that contain evil stuff inside. Once the kid is eating it, then the kid feel strange in his or her body, her eyes, ears, nose and mouth start bleed out the blood, the evil chocolate cholesterol is cleaning his or her inside body. Bleed out until no more blood, the kid is dead. So the evil chocolate liquid is leaving out of the body. Then it form back again become a chocolate bar.
This will work if you tell the bad thing about chocolate to someone who is young like a 'kid' in the early age. That will make them fear of chocolate. But for making adults fear of chocolate, well I think it's gonna be hard.
Well it's kinda like that.
It's an idea hehe..

Show them a picture of a really huge person with a chocolate bar in their hand & say "Look what happens to people who eat chocolate". They will fear it forever even though it is the most delicious thing in the world.

Most anyone can be conditioned to a desired response somewhat, but it is not possible to 'control' someone fully. With negative associations with something, one might become averse to it (shown negative images/harmful treatment when exposed to the stimulus, they will actually 'try to encounter it less'), but we cannot totally change or control someone else.
It has been noted in Psychology that Hypnotism does not work for everyone, thus is not reliable. The explanation for when it does work is the person is 'submitting', or just part of the 'fake audience', much like Magic Demonstrations.. Hope that helps.

ok that would be soooo unethical, but it is possible
you would have to do it through association. i think the case is called little hans...well its little someone...and in the case a young boy was made to fear white fluffy things because everytime they showed him a white fluffy rabbit they made a loud noise behind him, or something like that...so he came to associate the fear from the noise with seeing things that are white and fluffy
so theoretically to make someone fear chocolate you would just have to use the word and/or image whilst scaring them..if this was done at the correct intensity and frequency, theoretically it would result in them developing an association and thus a fear.

Read "A Clockwork Orange"-clamp eyes open, play certain music, show violent images and force-feed chocolate (or even provide a chocolatey scent. Not only will chocolate disgust, but so will the song!! :-)

Depends on the age, like if you're scaring a 50 year old woman you can just be like "CHOCOLATE = MORE CALORIES = MORE WEIGHT!!!!!!" and i bet that person won't touch chocolate anymore, but if it's like a 5 year old you can just say some weird monster made it lol

Simple . . . (hypothetically speaking) you could give them a piece that looks like chocolate but is really a laxative.
They will never accept chocolate from strangers ever again.

use the theory on association by piaget...make them associate chocolate with something fearful...for eg. someone has an accident in a car crash they learn to associate this with driving and so has a fear of it..you see?
