Considering that the quantity ingested is quite low and not all is chocolate, mild to moderate and self limiting gastrointestinal signs (vomiting, diarrhoea) can be seen. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if you notice persistent diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
