[Lexicog] Chocolate and Candy

[Benjamin Barrett]

In Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary, chokoreeto is glossed in
English as chocolate, but not candy.

Unlike in Japanese, though, candy is often used to mean chocolate in English
(at least in my dialect). For example, the word "candy bar" for me most
often means "chocolate bar", though I also commonly use the word "candy"
when talking about chocolate.

To me, it seems "candy" should be included in the chokoreeto entry. How do
others feel about this?
