There is some debate whether chocolate contains caffeine certainly as far as the BMA is concerned dark and milk chocolate do. The caffeine is present in very small amounts the greatest of which is in the higher cocoa content. The good news is that it is nothing like the amounts found in cups of coffee. The average cup of coffee contains 10 – 15 times the caffeine present in dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains between 5 – 10 mg per 25g and milk chocolate between 1 – 5mg.
