As my classes don't start today until noon, I hauled out my Ext DVDs to see what sort of light Jackson and company can shed on the question.
In Concerning Hobbits on the extended DVD of FotR, the hobbit gentleman who is courting a hobbit lady snatches a cupcake from a passing tray. Some of those cupcakes (including the one he snags) look to have chocolate icing on them. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
So, I'd say PJ etc either thought there would be chocolate in Middle Earth--or didn't think about it at all. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
