Definitely OK - but I may be biased as my wake up drink is chocolate according to the following recipe:-

1 heaped tsp cocoa powder
4 - 6 heaped tsp dark brown soft sugar (approx - it doesn't heap properly)
add a little milk and mix to a paste
add 3 - 4 heaped tsp horlicks - you need to add a bit more milk at this point
after mixing vigorously you should have 1/3 - 1/2 a mug of thick chocolaty paste
Mix in milk to a full mug and warm to taste

Good for waking you up and energizing you on a cold early start ;D ;D ;D

Chocolate for breakfast is normal for me. It's actually taken after my weetabix but it is there......................it's also there after elevenses, lunch, dinner, supper, tea and any other snack that takes my fancy  ::)

My record for chocolate consumption is a 1kg bar in one sitting.................too much? How 'bout discussing that?  ;D ;D

It's part of your five a day along with alcohol and sugar.  They are, after all, vegetables...

No chocolate isn't appropriate as breakfast.
It plays a far more vital role than a mere meal.
Chocolate is kept beside the bed to be consumed the nano second one wakes up, ideally before even sitting upright. It is akin to breathing and plays a vital role in day to day functions.
Besides eating it for breakfast then suggests the idea that you can't then have a fry up because one has already had breakfast....

The heir to our debts likes to drink coffee through a KitKat.  He bites the ends off first and then sucks.  Has to be done fast or it becomes a bit messy...

Coffee is of course another of your five a day.  Coffee beans are a fruit aren't they?

The spare, the heir's brother, went off to uni last year and we finally got an excavator into his bedroom this morning. 

We discussed the likely identity of the black dust in his sealed plastic lunchbox and thought it had probably been a sandwich.  But given he's been back a few times for fleeting visits since he departed we were surprised that he hadn't noticed the glass of milk, or rather the glass of biohazard.

Breakfast in Brittany is a steaming bowl of hot, milky chocolate into which you dip you bread, brioche, croissante or whatever takes your fancy.
Pity I'm allergic to lactose...................................., love to watch.......,  and smell the hot chocolate, though..........!

Hope you don't get the bill for fumigating his uni lodgings when he leaves.  ;D
