If you're talking about some countable thing, use "more of": "Do you want more of this chocolate bar?" You're offering to continue to share the bar. If you don't want to share, say "Do you want another chocolate bar?"
If you're talking about something non-countable, use "more": "Do you want more chocolate?"
If you're talking about something non-countable, use "more": "Do you want more chocolate?"
