Some people are surprised to learn that chocolate is not high in caffeine.
A typical 8-ounce glass of chocolate milk has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee.
A HERSHEY'S chocolate bar (1.55 ounce) contains about 10 mg of caffeine - slightly more than a cup of decaffeinated coffee,
but much less than that found in regular coffee, tea, and some soft drinks.
The small amount of caffeine in chocolate occurs naturally in cocoa beans.
