Question: Which is more worthwhile?

when selling chocolate early in-game, is it more worth while for me to make the chocolate bars individually or to sell the cocoa pods themselves?

 

just make 1 and compare the prices?

 

Sell the chocolate bars.

 

The thing with prepared food is that it tends to wind up being worth more than the components needed to craft it, so yes, chocolate bars will sell for more than just the cocoa pods themselves.
