Is it okay to say...

"She's on a pack of chocolates"

sabrynazulkyfly "She's on a pack of chocolates" The grammar is fine, but the meaning is strange. It seems she has put a pack of chocolates on her bed or on the floor, and she is lying on top of it. I don't think you mean that.

She's eating a box of chocolates.

I wouldn't say "pack of chocolates". I would say "box of chocolates", if I correctly understand what you are referring to. "She's on a box of chocolates", meaning that she's eating the chocolates, could well make sense in a real conversational context, but it looks a bit odd when presented in isolation.
