I wanted to type the same thing! I think all of us chocolate lovers should meet at a San Gines in Madrid to discuss this whole chocolate thing over a hot cup of chocolate (as opposed to a regular cup of "hot chocolate" like most other places) lol...but seriously folks, I'm stalling here because the clitics lesson has my head spinning and I needed a mental break! Can anyone swear to me that if you study clitics enough you will actually understand what the friggin' heck is going on? Just when I think I'm starting to get it I get kicked back to square zero. Non mi piace clitics!

I think "a me" emphasizes the me, making it sound more like "I, rather than someone else, do not like chocolate."
"Non MI piace il cioccolato"
Pretty close. :)

"Piace" doesn't actually mean "he likes" or "she likes", it means "it is pleasing". "Piaccio" means "I am pleasing".
Non piaccio al cioccolato - I'm not pleasing to chocolate / chocolate does not like me
A me non piace il cioccolato - The chocolate is not pleasing to me / I don't like chocolate
