<div dir="ltr">I have not tried this but I have heard that you can file the edges of a book with sand paper (if its just on the very edge of the pages) to "refresh" the look of the book. I would scrape off as much chocolate as possible before you do this though. You might have to charge the patron for it (depending on the amount of damage) If that doesn't work.
