  1. Does Chocolate Contain Caffeine?

     

    If you’re trying to cut back on caffeine, or just curious about what’s in your chocolate bar, you might be wondering:

    Does chocolate actually contain caffeine?

    The short answer is: yes, it does — but not much.

    Where does the Caffeine in Chocolate Comes From

    Chocolate is made from cacao beans, which naturally contain both caffeine and a compound called theobromine.
