I've had not so great experiences using that kind of amount of chocolate malt, and similarly high mash temps. You may find you end up with a lot of unfermentable sugars

That will hopefully give some sweetness next to the roasted tones of the malts. I'm not looking for the sweetness of a milk stout, but a bit residual sweetness would be nice i think :drink:
