Chocolate that's made from non-kosher ingredients and/or in a plant (factory) that is not kosher supervised.

EDIT: There are many laws pertaining to food, however, it would be impossible to detail them in this forum. The above is the simple answer as to what chocolate is not kosher. There are also different levels of kashrut with the highest being cholov yisroel (related to foods containing dairy) or pat yisroel (related to foods containing wheat). This higher level requires a Jew to be involve with the food preparation in some way or another (contrary to what some people mistakenly believe, there is no prohibition against eating foods cooked by non-Jews). In kitchens where non-Jews prepare food, this requirement can by met by having a Jew turn the oven on.

This being said, the majority of kosher products available on the market, are not either cholov or pat yisroel. Items that do meet this higher level of kashrut are marked as doing so on the packaging.
