What ingredient makes a chocolate chip cookie gooey?
Taking the cookie out of the oven after the proper amount of time will add more to the "gooiness" factor than the ingredients. Most chocolate chip cookie are overcooked. Taking the cookies out of the oven when just the edges are brown and NOT the whole cookie will make a moister gooier cookie. Another tip would be to refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 2 hours before baking and this will help keep the cookies thick and gooey as well.
yes, chocolate comes from cocoa beans, the beans are cut by hand and left out to rot for a week. In this time, bugs get into the beans and make nests, lay eggs, etc. They do go through a filtering process but it doesn't always get completely cleaned!

Can spoiled chocolate kill you?
The two toxic substances in Chocolate are Caffeine and Theobromine.
(LD50 is a way of describing toxicity. It stands for Lethal Dose 50%, how much of something that is a deadly dose for half of the individuals tested)
LD50 - Theobromine ~ 1000 mg/kg
LD50 - Caffeine ~ 175 mg/kg
Theobromine 1.3% in chocolate
Caffeine 0.02% in chocolate
Therefore Theobromine is the most dangerous toxin in chocolate.
Given an average weight of a human of 80kg
LD50 theobromine = 80,000 mg
6.15 Kg of chocolate would kill half of people of average weight
Those massive bars of cadburys dairy milk are 200g - so approx 31 of those would have a 50% chance of killing you of theobromine poisoning if you are of average weight.
Hope i helped.

The answer above might be confusing. In a short version:
Chocolate contains small amounts of toxins. As you know, a lot of small amounts make a lot. If you had a lot of those 5 lb Hershey Bars, you would die, because the amout of toxins would be enough to kill you. Since people are so much bigger than other animals, it takes a lot of chocolate to kill them. A dog is smaller than a person, so it takes less toxins to kill a dog. A parakeet is extremely small, so small that even an ounce of chocolate could kill it. An enire M&M or chocolate chip could kill a parakeet.
