Is the word chocolate the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical gender of "chocolate" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation:

• In Brazilian Portuguese: The final "e" is pronounced as a clear, unstressed "i" (like the "ee" in "see"), making the word sound like shoo-ko-LAH-chee.
• In Continental Portuguese: The final "e" is a "reduced" vowel, meaning it is very short and almost silent, making the word sound much closer to shoo-ko-LAT.
