Heat the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the chayotes; partially cover the saucepan. Cook the chayotes for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove the chayotes from the liquid; discard the liquid. Cut them in half lengthwise. Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the milk. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Stir the chocolate until completely melted.
