Chocolatier 2: Secret Ingredients
I love this game. It is fun, a challenge to play but what I love most about it is all the different recipes you can try with chocolate. Also, it is a challenge to pick the right recipes that will grow your business. Great game.

Fun strategy/time management with arcade elements
The 2nd of the 3 Chocolatier games (not including the arcade-only time management one): Part adventure, part time management & strategy (though more resources management). Think "Lemonade Stand," the old game from 25 years ago! But with beautiful colors, interesting places to visit, and a great variety of chocolates to be made, with goals being updated constantly to continually challenge you.
I have played all 3 Chocolatier games; I definitely recommend playing them in order, as the ingredients & recipes become more complicated as you go from game to game, and I expect most people will want to continue and play a sequel, so going in the reverse order might be a bit disappointing after the complexity of the later versions. Plus, chronologically, they go in order, and you get to see technology progress as well! Each one takes several hours to complete (longer if you don't quickly figure out how to handle your inventory or if you don't remember where to buy what or don't buy enough and have to make repetitive visits to the same locations). When you've completed all achievements you can keep playing if you wish, and there will be more custom orders given to you, just no more major achievements.
No major video sequences or audio, but pleasing to look at.
I like having the little arcade-style segments that determine your weekly chocolate output rates from each factory, and if you pay attention in your travels, you can learn the names of some new places and the important buildings in some of the cities!
