Engineered Fruit?

Quick answer, it would be an extremely difficult job, iirc near impossible with current understanding.
Chocolate is a processed product with a lot of complex taste combinations.
It would be merely timeconsuming and difficult to "splice" in the genes that make the cocoa bean generate its flavour.
So you could end up with chocolatey oranges, but you would never get them approved for sale or mass cultivation....

This guy walks into a bar. He walks up to the bartender and asks for a rum and coke.
The bartender puts an apple on the table...the guy looks at it and repeats..I said I want a rum and coke.
The bartender says just try the apple.
So the guy bites into the apple...and replies, wow this taste like rum.
The bartender tells him to turn it around...he bites in again and replies, wow it taste like coke.
A minute later another guy walks into the bar and asks the bartender for a gin and tonic.
The bartender puts an apple on the table...this guy just as confused as the first explains he wants a gin and tonic.
The guy next to him urges him to try it.
So the guy bites into it...wow it taste like gin.
The guy tells him to turn it around...he bites in it again...wow it taste like tonic.
Later that night another guy walks in a joins the two guys at the bar. The guys are so excited about these apples that they tell this guy that the bartender has an apple for which ever taste you want.
So the guy asks for an apple that taste like pussy.
The bartender puts the apple on the table.....the guy bites into it and says...this taste like S

The bartender replies...turn it around!
