Not complete crap, chocolate is high in antioxidants called flavinoids, which are good for the cardiovascular system. Also, certain chocolates have been shown to raise your HDL, which is the good cholesterol and lower your LDLs, which would be the 'bad' cholesterol.

That doesn't mean go out and eat a 1/2 gallon of your favorite chocolate ice cream though
