× Umm, I think most people like chocolate, isn't it because it is delicious?
✓ Umm, I think most people like chocolate, isn't it because it tastes delicious?
The verb 'taste' should be in the third person singular form 'tastes' to agree with the singular subject 'it'.
× It is kind kind of sweet if you add sugar in it and the special smell of it makes it even more addictive.
✓ It is kind of sweet if you add sugar to it and the special smell of it makes it even more addictive.
The correct preposition to use with 'add sugar' is 'to', not 'in'. We say 'add sugar to something'.
× It is kinda high in calories so I'm trying my best not to overeat them, but if I could I would eat like five times a week.
✓ It is kinda high in calories so I'm trying my best not to overeat it, but if I could I would eat it like five times a week.
The pronoun 'them' is plural but refers to 'chocolate', which is singular or uncountable here. The correct pronoun is 'it'.
× And when I'm eating it I usually use fresh cocoa powders to mix with other healthy ingredients or just eat dark chocolate itself as I love dark chocolate so it's not that hard.
✓ And when I'm eating it I usually use fresh cocoa powder to mix with other healthy ingredients or just eat dark chocolate itself as I love dark chocolate so it's not that hard.
The noun 'cocoa powder' is uncountable and should not be pluralized as 'powders'.
× I do not to be honest I started to love chocolate when I was in grade 6 but before that I don't like to eat any sweets unlike other kids I am anti sweet umm.
✓ I did not, to be honest. I started to love chocolate when I was in grade 6 but before that I didn't like to eat any sweets unlike other kids; I was anti-sweet, umm.
The sentence mixes present and past tense incorrectly. Since the action is in the past, 'do not' and 'don't' should be changed to 'did not' and 'didn't'. Also, 'am' should be 'was' to match past context.
× But my mom really loves dark chocolate and she started to buy some and put it in our house and one day I was like I should try it and everything's that.
✓ But my mom really loves dark chocolate and she started to buy some and put it in our house and one day I was like I should try it and that's everything.
The phrase 'everything's that' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'that's everything' or 'and that's it'.
× As fun as I concerned, I think it's mostly because it's ubiquitous.
✓ As far as I am concerned, I think it's mostly because it's ubiquitous.
The phrase 'As fun as I concerned' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'As far as I am concerned'. This is an idiomatic expression and does not involve third person singular verb but is a fixed phrase.
× You can find it in any stores, any shops.
✓ You can find it in any store, any shop.
The phrase 'in any stores' is incorrect because 'any' with plural countable nouns is acceptable but here 'in any stores' is awkward. Better to use singular 'store' and 'shop' or say 'in any stores or shops'.
× And 2nd is because the strong aroma it can brings.
✓ And second is because of the strong aroma it can bring.
The verb 'brings' should be 'bring' after 'it can' (modal verb + base verb). Also, 'because the strong aroma' should be 'because of the strong aroma'.
× It have a strong taste and it's kinda bitter so it's not overly sweet.
✓ It has a strong taste and it's kinda bitter so it's not overly sweet.
The subject 'It' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have'.
× As I mentioned, my favorite flavor is chocolate is dark chocolate because it's it's rich and slightly bitter taste.
✓ As I mentioned, my favorite flavor of chocolate is dark chocolate because of its rich and slightly bitter taste.
The phrase 'my favorite flavor is chocolate is dark chocolate' is incorrect. It should be 'my favorite flavor of chocolate is dark chocolate'. Also, 'it's it's rich and slightly bitter taste' should be 'because of its rich and slightly bitter taste' to correctly use possessive pronoun.
× However, I also like milk chocolate, especially the kind from Milk Farm, as it's very smooth and creamy and it melts delightfully in your mouth.
✓ However, I also like milk chocolate, especially the kind from Milk Farm, as it's very smooth and creamy and it melts delightfully in your mouth.

The sentence lacks a subject. Adding 'It' makes it a complete sentence.

The sentence lacks the verb 'are' to link subject and complement, causing sentence structure error.
× Some people say that the chocolate tastes like love and I totally agree with that.

The definite article 'the' before 'chocolate' is unnecessary here when speaking generally about chocolate.
× But in other situations like giving gifts to friends or teachers, chuckling might not be the top choice, but still.
✓ But in other situations like giving gifts to friends or teachers, chocolate might not be the top choice, but still.
The word 'chuckling' is a typo or incorrect word; it should be 'chocolate'.
