Morphology
The meaning 'a candy made with chocolate' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'chocolate' and 'candy'—there is no idiomatic shift or metaphorical extension. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (ingredient + product) and would be immediately understood by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Chocolate candy joins chocolate, the brown, sweet food made from cocoa beans, and candy, a small sweet or 'treat', so the name gives a clear picture of a small sweet made with chocolate.
