MYTH: An ounce of milk chocolate contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
TRUTH: Actually, a one-ounce piece of milk chocolate contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee. There is an average of 6 mg. of caffeine in both an ounce of milk chocolate and a cup of decaf, while a cup of regular coffee contains between 150 and 655 mg. of caffeine.


Yes! This will get all the people that can't figure out why chocolate makes me sleepy - they tell me it has caffeine in it. HAH!

Thanks for posting this, Inkblot! You are quickly reaffirming my belief that chocolate and candy are their own separate food group and an important part of the famous "Anna" diet!

some of it's magic
some of it's tragic
but i had a good life all the way......
