Well, this is pretty straightforward. I guess.

I respond...yes, I certainly would. Would you recognize what I shared
(i.e. what I found in 1492) as chocolate? Will your judges? I doubt it.

All right. As I say this seems pretty direct. The contest would seem to
be whimsical in focus, and normally I have no problem with such things
if presented correctly and honestly. On the other hand, I'm glad I won't
be able to judge at this; it seems like a glorious opportunity for
potential bad taste. I wonder how many Chocolate Raspberry Mint Cream
cordials will be entered?
