Can I have three chocolates?

In Spanish, it exists the words chocolate and bombón.
Then, I have noticed that in English there is a word for "bombón". I find "chocolate" in the dictionary. For that reason, I think that the word "chocolate" is used for both of them.
Is is correct to say "can I have three chocolates" for "puedo coger tres bombones"?

Hola maremar, bienvenida al foro
Si te parece voy a pedir a los nativos de inglés que corrijan tu inglés, todos estamos aquí para practicar
Can I have three chocolates? Can you give me three chocolates?
Si es un trozo de chocolate:
Can I have a piece of chocolate?
The difference is the plural. 
I like chocolate. Me gusta el chocolate
I like chocolates. Me gustan los bombones.
