Here in Canada the Smarties are still thankfully labelled as "Candy coated milk 
chocolate" but other things have been renamed from "chocolate" to "chocolatey" 
to try and get around those rules.  CBC did an article about this not too long 
ago in regards to shrinkflation/skimpflation:

"According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, products must meet certain 
criteria to be labelled "chocolate", including a specified minimum amount of 
cocoa butter and powder, and no vegetable oils."
