Chocolate alone is not candy. But once the sugar is added, it is candy.

I think of candy as being a very sugar based item.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy
Candy comes from Arabic "qandi," meaning crystallized sugar, [1] via French and Italian,[2] from Tamil "kantu,"[1] lump and from Dutch "Kandij".
Candy is made simply by dissolving sugar in water. The different heating levels determine the types of candy: Hot temperatures make hard candy, medium heat will make soft candy and cool temperatures make chewy candy.
In some areas, "candy" is generally taken to mean confectionery made from crystallized sugar, whereas in other areas (notably North America) candy is a term used more broadly to include chocolate, non-chocolate and gum. In the United Kingdom in general, a piece of confectionery is referred to as a sweet. In Australian English, all such confections may be collectively referred to as lollies or lollypops. In New Zealand English, both terms are used. The variant term "lollipop" is also used in North America and the United Kingdom, but only to describe a certain type of candy that it is attached to a stick. Candy is enjoyed throughout the world for its sweetness.

Some chocolate is used to make candy. But not all chocolate is candy.

I always considered candy to be a sugar based item (even more sugar than chocolate).
But people do call chocolate bars candy bars so I am not sure.

Chocolate is a bean which can be used in the making of candy.
Chocolate was created by the Mesoamerican civilization, from cacao beans, and cultivated by pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Maya and Aztec, who used it as a basic component in a variety of sauces and beverages. The cocoa beans were ground and mixed with water to produce a variety of beverages. It is the solid and fat combination, sweetened with sugar and other ingredients, that is made into chocolate bars and which is today commonly referred to as chocolate
