Creating Embossed Typing  like this Chocolate Effect

1. Create a new file and create a realistic background colour for chocolate.  Click on your colour palette and make your colour settings as follows: Red 105, Green 50 and Blue 35.

2. Now go to the Edit menu and choose Fill.  Select Foreground colour, Normal and 100%.

You should have a screen like the one below

3. Choose the Type tool from the tool box   Select an appropriate size and font and enter your text. NOTE: Because you will be typing in brown text on a brown background your text will be invisible for now

4. With the Type layer selected, choose the Layer menu, select Layer Style and then Bevel and Emboss.

Don't worry about the other settings here too much, you can go back and adjust them later if you want to.
5.Create a new layer (Shift +Ctrl+N) and call it Border
6. Got to the Select menu and choose All.  Then go back to the Select menu, choose  Modify and Border.  Put in a border size which is double what you think you'll need.  

Start with 20 and you can always change it later if it is not what you want.

Click OK 
7. Go to the Edit menu and choose  Fill.  Fill the border with Foreground color

Now go to the Layers palette, and set the Border layer to Hard Light.

8. Right Click on the Type layer in the layers palette.  Choose Copy Layer Style.  Now Right Click the Border layer.  Choose Paste Layer Style.

　

That's all there is to it.
