Hi,
A bar of chocolate = One piece of chocolate in the form/shape of a bar.
Bars of chocolate = two or more chocolates in the form/shape of a bar.

I suppose "chocolate" is uncoutable, this way you cannot count chocolates. On the other hand, one can count bars of chocolate. Chocolate itself does not express the idea of unity, whereas for bars you can count as many as you want.
