From what I can find it looks like each bar is 31 grams, so if we assume that the bar is 100% chocolate (which is likely an overestimate) and that Fifi ate half a bar this would not be a toxic dose of chocolate. If it seems like a bar is more than 31 grams or if there’s any chance she may have eaten more than half I’d recommend contacting an emergency vet or the Pet Poison Helpline: www.petpoisonhelpline.com
