I know at least Hershey's brand chocolates have caffeine:

A 1.45 oz. Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar contains 31mg of caffeine.

A 1.55 oz. Hershey's Chocolate Bar contains 9mg of caffeine.

41g (9 pieces) of Hershey's Kisses contains 9mg of caffeine.

And all hot chocolate contains caffeine:

8 oz. of Hot Cocoa contains 9mg (but the range can be from 3 to 13) of caffeine.

There is caffiene in all choc.

There is caffine in hot choc. There is caffine in all choc.

yes

Contrary to popular belief caffeine is not found in chocolate. Theobromine is the active ingredient in Chocolate and it occurs only in Cacao. The two stimulants are related and have a similar structures, but are very different chemicals with different properties, effects and origins. There are of course, some Chocolate products that have added caffeine, but it does not occur naturally in Chocolate.

Yes, chocolate has caffeine, but not as much as, say, colas.

yea.

When you check this out on food network, or any of the other food web sites, YES there is caffeine in chocolate, and tea, and lots of other things you wouldn't suspect!!

I guess you know by now! Yes, chocolate has caffeine.

There's natural caffeine in chocolate. Its so little in amount that it wouldn't do anything though.

There's also caffeine in hot chocolate. It's same as normal chocolate though.

A. yes
b. Yes

You may be able to find caffeine free coffee but it is not possible to find caffeine free chocolate. If it is caffeine free it wouldn't be chocolate. . .

Yes
