What benefits if any

Chocolate can be good for you in some incidents. Dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate. It contains antioxidants that are good for you. But, studies have shown that chocolate is actually kind of addicting. Who would have guessed? :)

Well, the latest research seems to show that dark chocolate is good for the cardiovascular system. The recommendation is that the dark chocolate be at least 60-70% cacao though (pref. 70%) to get significant benefit. (Milk chocolate doesn't have nearly that much, and it has other things in it too.)
Of course, they're also quick to say that there are significant calories in chocolate and it's easy to eat more than one "should," but excess weight is not good for cardiovascular health.

Who cares? I can say this, though: it would be bad for your health to try to take my chocolate away from me.
Seriously, antioxidants are of unproven benefit, and the whole "good for you" vs. "bad for you" thing is a load of distant food end-products. All foods are fine in proper amounts as part of a sensible diet. Overindulgence or silly overavoidance are both foolish.
