Personally, I say candy if it is generally devoid of cocoa. I'll say chocolate if is mainly cocoa based. I don't associate candy as the overall category. I consider the overall category sweets, with candy and chocolate the main two sub categories.
If it's more devoid of cocoa than full of cocoa or flavored in a specific way, I'll either call it by name or say it's chocolate flavoured candy rather than lump them in either category. (ie: Chocolate flavoured/filled mint, tootsie roll, caramel etc.).
