Morphology

chocolate + topper

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'chocolate' (a confection) + 'topper' (an item placed on top); a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer a decorative chocolate piece or layer on a dessert. This noun+noun composition is transparent and follows common cross-linguistic compounding patterns, so the expression is immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.

Etymology

Chocolate topper comes from the simple picture of a piece of chocolate put on top like a topper, a small 'decoration' on a cake. So it means a chocolate piece or thin layer placed on a dessert to make it look special.
