20 mg / oz - http://coffeetea.about.com/library/blcaffeine.htm While the above referenced content of caffeine may be common in commercially processed chocolate, it is not always so. The caffeine content of chocolate has been the subject of much debate -- and conflicting research from the scientific community. Some data sugests that there is caffeine content in the cocoa bean, though the International Cocoa Organization states that the caffeine content is very low. Other data suggests that there is no caffeine in cocoa, and that any caffeine present has been added by manufacturers. It's also interesting to note that some data suggests that the caffeine only resides in the fiber and husk that surround the cocoa bean. In that case, if the beans are properly cleaned, there should be virtually NO caffeine in the resulting chocolate product. - http://www.thefivereasons.com/
There is no butter in Baking Chocolate; the fat is "cocoa butter", which is very different to dairy butter. The amount of cocoa solids in baking chocolate varies between brands, but it is usually listed as a percentage on the packaging of the bar.
1 baking chocolate square is equal to 28.3 grams. This is the same as one ounce of the baking chocolate.
The amount of caffeine in baking cocoa is 12 milligrams of caffeine for every tablespoon of baking cocoa. This means that in a cup of dry cocoa powder, the caffeine will be about 20 grams.
In recipes, generally one square means one ounce.
A square of chocolate is usually much bigger than a chocolate chip. Usually you will need more chocolate chips than squares of baking chocolate.

The regular chocolate slim fast has less than 5 milligrams of caffeine. (Coffee has about 90 mg for a reference.)
A typical 28-gram serving of a Milk Chocolate bar has about as much caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee, although dark chocolate has about the same caffeine as coffee by weight. Some Dark Chocolate currently in production contains as much as 160 mg per 100 g - which is double the caffeine content of the highest caffeinated drip coffee by weight.

Chocolate does not contain any caffeine. This is an urban legend. Caffeine is often confused with another alkaloid that has similar effects. The alkaloid is Theobromine, which is the active ingredient in chocolate and is toxic to dogs.

Hershey's claims 7mg per 2Tbsp.
3 level tablespoons of cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon of butter or shortening equals 1 square cube of unsweetened baking chocolate.
According to Hershey's a 1.55 oz (43 g) milk chocolate bar has 9 mg of caffeine.
Milk chocolate has very little caffeine. Generally only dark chocolate has any appreciable amount of caffeine. Nhs guidelines suggest a 50g bar of milk choc would have approximately 25mg. The amount of actual chocolate in a Mars bar is small so caffeine will be slight. Won't bring you anywhere near the 200mg recommended daily limit. A Mars bar will have almost no caffeine. A mars bar is 58g total, milk chocolate makes up ~ 40%. So 23g of milk chocolate would be about 5mg of caffeine. To put that in perspective the average cup of coffee has 95mg of caffeine.
