Nooooooooo..........: If chocolate allergy exists, it is extremely rare. Other bad things can happen: reflux (GERD), headaches, migraines, rapid heartrate. Of course, peanut and tree nut allergy folks must watch for cross-contamination. I dare any board-certified doc to show me a positive skin test to chocolate, though. Do a food challenge at an allergists office. And be sure to bring in enough for the office staff.
