If a recipe calls for adding those things to the secondary (which I dont do) should I just add them to the primary fermenter after fermentation has slowed down?
Yep. Just rack really really well when bottling
Never tried with chocolate, I'd think it would dissolve out
Yep, dump 'em right into the primary. Cold crash if you can, everything will drop out.
So you wouldnt recommend putting them
In hop bags? I also left out I only do 1.5 gallon batches which makes a big difference. When I was doing 5 gallon batches I could rack to the bottling bucket with a lot of room between the bottom and top. With a 1.5 gallon batch (with almost a quarter gallon of trub) the siphon has very little space to siphon and starts sucking up trub (and chocolate pieces) really quick.
