"My dad gave me chocolate as a gift."

Did I use として correctly?
Correct.

But if the chocolate is totally appropriate as souvenir, just saying
お土産にチョコレートをくれた is enough. として can carry a nuance of "as a substitute" or "as a
thing that it's not intended for."

Looks correct to me. I had a look for similar examples. From
<http://www.linguee.com/english-
japanese/search?query=%E3%81%8A%E5%9C%9F%E7%94%A3%E3%81%A8%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6>

最後に全員で昼食をともにし、記念撮影を行い、Tシャツや子供たちの写真など を お土産として 配 布 し、イベントは終了しました At the end,
everybody participated in lunch, there was a commemorative photo, T-shirts and
personal photos of children were distributed as souvenirs - then the event
came to a close.

お土産として here is used in much the same way here: (something) is given as a gift.

There are other examples there, but that was the closest to your sentence.
