In some ways both have an air of "the forbidden" about them, insomuch as we shouldn't overindulge in either. How I love them depends on the mood. Chocolate is a rarer treat than cheese, which makes it even more desirable. I consumed a "Sparks" tiny chocolate bar with relish the other day courtesy of M&S who gifted to me as a "Sparks" offer, how could I refuse! and it did release a brief euphoria. Then again there are so many delicious cheeses, so it depends on the cheese. It's hard one! no pun intended.
Maybe I'd go for cheese, because it's more versatile and chocolate, well it's not really good for us, unless it's a dark 70% cocoa solids plus and I don't really like the dark bitter types.
Bit of a long winded answer, but tough questions need some in depth analysis 
Wow! your tart looks good MawsRosie, I bet it'll be delicious.
I have just finished making a very rich chocolate pudding (Nigella’s Salted Chocolate Tart for reference) for a family lunch I am off to tomorrow and there has been (just!) a bit of spoon and spatula licking!
Desperate for something savoury to counteract the sweetness, I’ve had a little piece of Stilton and like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, feel much better.
If I had to choose between them though - cheese or chocolate and could never have the other again… after much reflection I think it would have to be cheese.
There are so many wonderful cheeses, but then, handmade proper chocolatier origin chocolate?
Hard choice.
Which one would you choose?
