hare Krishna all the devotees
All glories to srila Prabhupada
I know that many things are strictly prohibited like meat, eggs and intoxication
And some things should not be eaten like garlic, onion, as they are tamsik
But also I got know somedays ago, that we should not consume tea and coffee because they contain caffeine so I don't drink them anymore but I don't of chocolate should not eaten for the same reason or not? Is it also something we should not consume? I don't know so please help me.
Also I still eat onion and garlic as my family members eat it and I cannot cease to eat them because my parents think that if I stop eating them too I gives a signal that I might become a bhramchari or sadhu or something like that, so it a problem if I eat it for now, I have , of course, decided that I would definitely wont eat them once I start living alone. But for right now can I like eat them ,

Hare Krishna,
Chocolates are made up of cocoa beans which naturally contain some amount of caffine. It could make you addictive, so it should be avoided.
