Is there a way to tie in something from the Megilla to Chocolate? Has anyone posted a Chocolate theme poem?

"nes purim" (teh miracle of purim) is the same gematria as "shokolad"!
also its the very concept of venahappoch hu. when haman threw his dice, he got 1 3 3 (which spells agag, which mde him very happy). if u turn over the dice (venahapoch hu) you see that 4 4 6 (446 = gematria shokolad) is on top.

As far as I know, chocolate ties in with everything  Are explanations really necessary? 8)

| Wo! I would think that to come up with two the same gematria value words, you'd have to be working for hours though.

Same question, 15 years later. 
Any other connections between chocolate and Purim?

I don't have that brilliant talent for gematria, but here's a little rhyme:
Hidden in the Megillah, in many a scene
Is the presence of chocolate, here's what I mean:
Look for the word that fits -- you'll see it, too
And why cacao bean eating befits every Jew...
The king wanted Vashti, she wouldn't be seen
And so, as a queen, she became a has-______.
Then Esther arrived, a delicate green
But never revealed who her people had ______.
Haman was promoted, his plot was arranged
Genocide? He must have ______ deeply deranged.
But Esther and Mordechai would contravene
And the threat vanished as if it never had ____
For sure every villain was Shocked A Lot
At the rising of the Jewish Star
So make sure to celebrate with chocolate
You'll surely be raising the bar!

Did you write that?? It's brilliant! I was coming here to say something about cacao beans, but that's way better than anything I could think of  I thought also of how Esther only ate nuts and seeds, does beans fit into it too...
