Formation is a regular adjectival suffixation from the noun 'chocolate' meaning 'having the taste or quality of chocolate'.

Etymology

Chocolatey comes from chocolate plus the ending -y, where -y means 'having' or 'full of', like in cheesy. Chocolate itself comes from a native Mexican word 'xocolātl', which meant 'bitter water' for the cocoa drink. So, chocolatey means 'having the taste or smell of chocolate'.
