× I like eating chocolate because I prefer to eat the snacks which are a little bitter and uh, I have learned that the chocolate are is good for our health so I like eating it.
✓ I like eating chocolate because I prefer snacks that are a little bitter, and I have learned that chocolate is good for our health, so I like eating it.
The sentence misuses 'which' for defining snacks (use 'that' or a relative clause), and mixes plural/singular forms: 'the chocolate are is' is incorrect. Use 'chocolate is' because 'chocolate' as a substance is uncountable and takes singular verb 'is'. Also remove unnecessary article 'the' before 'chocolate' when speaking generally. Improve clarity by splitting into two clauses with a comma and conjunction.
× I don't have a fixed schedule to eat chocolate maybe once a month because the bitter dark chocolate is quite expensive and I can't afford to buy it every day. When?
✓ I don't have a fixed schedule for eating chocolate; maybe I have it once a month because bitter dark chocolate is quite expensive and I can't afford to buy it every day.
Use 'for eating' or 'to eat' consistently; 'maybe once a month' should be integrated as a separate clause. Remove unnecessary article 'the' before 'bitter dark chocolate' when speaking generally. 'When?' is inappropriate and unclear in this context; remove it. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.
× Yes, I did when I was a kid. I prefer in eating snacks after school and sharing them with my friends. But at that time I love sweet chocolates which are quite different from the fever nowadays.
✓ Yes, I did when I was a kid. I preferred eating snacks after school and sharing them with my friends. But at that time I loved sweet chocolates, which are quite different from the flavor I prefer nowadays.
The answer refers to past habits, so use past tense 'preferred' and 'loved' instead of present tense. Remove incorrect preposition 'in' after 'prefer'. 'Fever' is a wrong word—replace with 'flavor' or 'taste'. Clarify 'nowadays' with 'I prefer nowadays' to show contrast between past and present.
× Maybe because it has different favors which can counter on different tastes. For example, the dark chocolate is usually bitter and the white one is relatively sweeter and.
✓ Maybe because it has different flavors that appeal to different tastes. For example, dark chocolate is usually bitter, and white chocolate is relatively sweeter.
Use 'flavors' not 'favors'. 'Which can counter on different tastes' is awkward; 'that appeal to different tastes' is clearer. Remove the definite article 'the' before 'dark chocolate' and 'white one' when speaking generally. End the sentence properly; do not leave a trailing 'and'.
× My favorite one is the dark chocolate because it is a little bitter in the counter to my taste. I didn't like the sweeter snacks and the it's it's more healthier for me.
✓ My favorite is dark chocolate because it is a little bitter, which suits my taste. I don't like sweeter snacks, and it's healthier for me.
Remove 'the' before 'dark chocolate' when speaking in general. 'In the counter to my taste' is incorrect; use 'which suits my taste' or 'in contrast to my taste'. 'I didn't like' should be present 'I don't like' when stating a general preference. 'It's more healthier' is ungrammatical—use 'it's healthier' (comparative 'more' should not be used with '-er' forms). Also remove duplicate 'it's'.
× Daffy knots for years because in foreign country there are different kinds of chocolates and it is suitable to be as the gift because it is has different kind of design and favor.
✓ Yes, I think chocolate makes a good gift because in foreign countries there are different kinds of chocolates, and they are suitable gifts because they come in various designs and flavors.
The original sentence is largely unintelligible ('Daffy knots for years'). Replace with a clear affirmative. Use 'foreign countries' plural and 'they are suitable gifts' for agreement. 'It is has' is a combination of two verbs; use one: 'they come in' or 'they have'. Use 'flavors' not 'favor'. Improve sentence structure by splitting into two clauses and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
