Erde
The recipe I am translating (for UK market) lists Schokoerde and Olivenerde as parts of recipes. Upon googling, they look like minced/chopped chocolate or olives, respectively.
Example of Schokoladenerde:

Example of Olivenerde: http://kuechenreise.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/IMG_4998_...
However, I am unsure if I should simply go with "minced" or if there is a special English term associated with this word.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.

crumbs
However, due to the almond content of the chocolate crumbs (if the ones on your menu are created in the same way, that is), I would definitely almonds alongside the chocolate. Chocolate almond crumbs, for example?

Sorry, that should read "use almonds alongside the chocolate".
There are many different ways of making the chocolate crumbs, so it is perhaps worth checking back with the customer.

| Thank you for you answer. The Schokoladenerde recipe in my translation does not contain almonds...the link I posted was just for illustrative purposes. |

crumble, minced or confetti-style
I don't know what the text says, perhaps something like this: cake topped with chocolate crumble
again here, don't know what you have: perhaps minced, confetti-style olives or just confetti-style olives or just minced olives
soil
These days chefs often refer to chocolate soil

This is my source for the "Schokoladenerde" recipe. This one in particular does not have images, but elsewhere in Google searches I have found entries similar to what you posted: https://www.wiberg.eu/de/kochen/rezepte/pdf-rezept__12835
Some of the instances are in dishes decorated to look like gardens - is it something like this?

Olivenerde may be the same thing, but with olives. if so, "chocolate/olive earth" seems the obvious translation.
And for the Olivenerde:
200 g Oliven schwarz..although the only instructions are to dry and mix the olives (Oliven trocknen und mixen.).
