Les œufs en chocolat

So, the lesson on combining nouns says to use some form of à when describing a taste and the lesson gives the example of "glace à la vanille." That seems consistent with my memory of "pain au chocolat." So why is it "les œufs en chocolat" and not "au chocolat"? Thanks.

Does separating pas & non plus convey something different from putting them together?

For the "Je ne regarde pas non plus le télé" vs. "Je ne regarde pas le télé non plus", does one mean "I [like you] also don't watch tv" and the other mean "I don't watch tv either [in addition to another activity]"?
