Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Plot In the episode, SpongeBob accidentally receives Squidward 's Fancy Living Digest magazine in the mail, inspiring him and Patrick to become entrepreneurs. At the suggestion of Patrick, the pair become door - to - door chocolate bar salesmen, which results in them purchasing large quantities of chocolate bars from the Barg ' n ' Mart. The first customer is a fish who just screams `` CHOCOLATE ! '' and chases the two away. Afterward, SpongeBob and Patrick attempt to sell chocolate to another fish, who cons them into buying chocolate - carrying bags twice in a row. They then try to sell to a woman who wants to buy a chocolate bar, but when SpongeBob is not able to find one because of all of the carrying bags, the customer loses her patience and slams the door. When SpongeBob finally finds a chocolate bar, him and Patrick get chased away again by the chocolate fanatic. After their disastrous results in their previous attempts, the two take a break at a diner, and decide to `` try being nice ''. However, this is unsuccessful, ending in Patrick buying pictures of a customer as an overweight child, as is their attempt to `` focus '' ( resulting in Patrick staring at a customer until the customer slams the door on Patrick 's eyes ). Then, they decide that the only way to sell chocolate is to `` stretch the truth '', which is successful when they convince a very old woman ( to the dismay of her daughter Mary ) that it `` makes you live forever ''. The lying continues, but after they attempt to help a seriously injured man ( who turns out to be the same man who sold SpongeBob and Patrick the carrying bags in disguise ) by buying his chocolate, their profit is lost. However, the chocolate fanatic catches up to them, and, in a turn of events, buys all of the chocolate that SpongeBob and Patrick have. They then use the money to rent out a fancy restaurant, allowing access only to themselves and their dates, the old lady and her daughter who they sold chocolate to earlier.

Reception `` Chocolate with Nuts '' has received acclaim from both critics and fans alike. Emily Estep of `` WeGotThisCovered.com '' rated the episode as the 10th best SpongeBob SquarePants episode, saying `` The reason ' Chocolate with Nuts ' is such a good episode is that it subtly and somewhat darkly hints at the concept of just how crazy the people who live around you are. SpongeBob and Patrick are mostly swindled into buying things from other people -- actually, a single con man who keeps appearing -- and nothing is more terrifying / hilarious than the man who simply starts screaming ' chocolate ' repeatedly until SpongeBob and Patrick run away. ' Chocolate with Nuts ' adds the complete absurdity of the program -- like the old lady and her even older mother who remembers when ' they first invented chocolate. Sweet, sweet chocolate. I always hated it ! ' -- and the aspects of SpongeBob 's undersea life that mirror our own lives on land -- like stranger danger. '' Nancy Basile of About.com ranked the episode No. 5 on her `` Best SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes '' list. She said `` I can relate to the customer who spends this entire episode running around Bikini Bottom, screaming for chocolate. ' Chocolate with Nuts ' is about Patrick and SpongeBob trying to get rich by selling chocolate bars door to door... There are witty punchlines and silly sight gags throughout the episode. '' Her favorite scene was when `` Patrick focuses a little too hard on their unsuspecting customer. '' SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny considers this one of his favorite episodes. It was included in the iTunes collection `` SpongeBob SquarePants : Tom Kenny 's Top 20 '', where he called it `` a very sick episode (... ) You can spend hours theorizing about what these eleven minutes says ( sic ) about truth, lies, Big Business, entrepreneurship, and consumerism.
