More info on the chocolate-toxic-to-dogs issue:
http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/nutritiondogs/a/chocolatetoxici.htm
It's the theobromine that gets them. And even worse, the toxicity is cumulative. That is, the bromides don't break down in the dog's body, so the toxicity builds little by little. I hope your dog will recover.
Now you claim that it the poison builds up over time. This is not true. The theobromine lasts for at most 48 hours in an average dog's system.
So basically, if you do not give him a lot of it every day, he will be fine. Probably will just have an upset stomach.
That being said... Dont give your dog chocolate if you can avoid it regardless of how safe it is. Worry more about the sugar than the toxicity and dont panic if your puppy eats a couple M&Ms.
As far as the idea of dosing pills in soft chocolate, which was what initiated these responses, that should be out of the question.
Just the smell of bacon drives him nuts. He gobbles anything up that has bacon on it.
