It probably sounds like I'm making this up, but I'm not.
Here's a response from a German friend, who is in Germany:
Schokoladen-Bein is a private word-combination. It is nothing formal. It is the first time I ever heard it.

You say here e.g. "meine Schokoladenseite" i.e. "my chocolate side" (of my character. So it's more in an abstract way used.
