My 11-week puppy might have eaten one chocolate chip. Is it risky?

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | 2 months and 14 days old | 15 lbs

my 11 week old puppy (weight 16 pounds) MIGHT have ate one milk chocolate chip. I'm not sure if she did or not, but want to know if the small amount poses a risk. It was about an hour ago, right now she is fast asleep.

One milk chocolate chip will have quite a low cocoa content so shouldn't pose too much of a threat thankfully. Keep a close eye for the next day or so for any strange behaviour and go to your vet right away if you notice anything.
