100g of pure chocolate is a lot. I normally eat 25g of 85% chocolate. That's probably an upper bound on a typical serving, diluted by other ingredients. For people who do not otherwise consume caffeine, it's a powerful dose, but for people who drink coffee every morning, it's probably not much.

Added: 25g of pure chocolate has about 10mg of caffeine, about the same as 25g of liquid coffee.
