Does hot cocoa have cafeine in it?
I think it doesn't. I need to prove my mom wrong >:D
Answers:
Cocoa derived from the seeds of the Theobroma cocoa plant (or cocoa beans) is used in making chocolate milk, hot cocoa, and various confections. It contains small amounts of caffeine, plus large amounts of theobromine, another alkaloid in the xanthine family. Theobromine is classified as a mild central nervous system stimulant and has physiological effects similar to those of caffeine, but much weaker. The average cup of hot cocoa contains about 10 mg of caffeine but over 200 mg of theobromine. A 3 1/2 ounce chocolate bar contains approximately 12 mg of caffeine and 155 mg of theobromine.
I believe it does, because of the cocoa powder. Make sure you read the ingredient label to make sure. Good luck
all i know is that chocolate has caffeine in it.
