A word for word translation of the french title would be "the beautiful chocolate maker/seller". Not calling her a chocolate. (Also, I'm assuming that's hot chocolate that she's carrying)

If she's made of chocolate and she drinks hot chocolate, is she a cannibal or a vampire?

Cannibal. To be a vampire requires her to be a mutated/magical type of chocolate, doesn't it? There's more to being a vampire than drinking blood.
