Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is any such thing as "caffeine-free" or
decaffeinated chocolate? I was looking out for it and haven't found
anything in any of the local stores.

Given that you get decaf teas, coffees etc, I would assume it's
available somewhere but have not had any luck in locating anything
yet.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Kevin

To the best of my knowlege, no. I have access to wholesale
chocolate catalogs and information from manufacturers and
I have not seen any "caffeine-free" mentioned. Well, as
someone else said, white chocolate will be caffeine-free.

You do realize that the actual caffeine levels in chocolate
are very low compared to coffee and tea. It probably isn't
worth the effort to try to decaffeinate it.

Well, there's very little caffeine in chocolate, so there's really no
need to do so.

Too bad about the caffeine-free chocolate. I have an allergy to caffeine - I
get a reaction from just stepping into Starbucks.

I could tell if something has caffeine in it by just smelling it.

How much caffeine triggers it? As I said, there's very little in
chocolate. Have you discussed this with your allergist?

But hot milk doesn't have any caffeine!

There is little caffeine in chocolate. And none in the
psuedo-chocolate brown crud that Hershey's churns out.

And most "food-borne" allergies are psychosomatic.

Gee, thanks for that information, Doctor. I'll tell my brother, who
buried his 4-year-old daughter a number of years ago after she died
from a food allergy.

wd40, who is really tired of pseudoscientific know-it-alls who think
that whatever *they* don't suffer from must be psychosomatic.

Oh, and by the way, the person who killed my niece by giving her a
cookie with peanuts in it thought she wouldn't get sick if she didn't
know the peanuts were in there. I would have liked the woman to have
been charged with murder, but I suppose gross, indefensible idiocy of
the kind that believes food allergies are "psychosomatic" doesn't come
from people who are equipped to tell the difference between right and
wrong.

I bother to reply only because somebody might read your foul, sick
advice and believe it, and thereby cause the death of an innocent
person.

Hershey's has a caffeine-free hot cocoa mix.

Folks, the reason I asked about this is that my cousin is pregnant and
she wants to stay away from caffeine because of that. However, she is
having a really hard time staying away from chocolate!... so far she
apparently has but is hoping to find a "decaf" version.

Thanks for all your responses

Ok, again, they usually don't decaffeinate things with very little
caffeine in them.
