I honestly appreciate everyones answers back so VERY FAST. My son, for some unknown reason, decided to stash his Christmas chocolate under his bed, ---HELLO .... he's 17 and apparently not the sharpest tool in the shed. Matty found it and, yes, ate it all. I have followed everyone's advise. Be very hard to pick the best answer. Everyone had a "best answer". Thanks SO MUCH for caring and responding to my question. You guys are great. All of you

Use hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Mix three percent hydrogen peroxide to water solution and give your dog 1-2 tea spoons for a smaller dog by mouth every 10-15 minutes until you produce vomiting. To treat your dog of poisoning, first induce the vomiting. Once this has occurred you need to have your dog ingest an activated charcoal which can deactivate the dangerous effects of the poison. If you procure your charcoal from your vet, follow their instructions for the dosage amount to provide. If you get it from a pharmacy follow this general rule: 1 teaspoon for dogs weighing 25 lb. or less. If you don’t have the charcoal I have heard that burnt toast is a temporary solution until you can obtain the charcoal. Get to the vet ASAP. Good luck.
What kind of chocolate? Milk? Dark? The darker the chocolate, the more concentrated and harmful the chemicals.
Check her heart rate NOW and if you start to see an elevation, get her to the vet ASAP. Keep her calm, don't let her run around.
Give her 1 teaspoon of peroxide per 10 lbs of her body mass. Do that every 15 min until she throws up. After she has thrown up, you will need to give her activated charcoal to absorb the chemicals and keep it from entering her blood stream. (You can get it at Wal-Greens in capsule form.) Give one teaspoon of charcoal mixed with 2 teaspoons of water per 10 lbs.
Also, a call to a vet at least would be a good idea given the fact that she ate quite a bit.
Chocolate in small doses is not deadly. Chocolate in large doses is deadly. Vomiting isn't enough, she needs a vet. Call the vet first, they may tell you to induce vomiting with a teaspoon or so of peroxide. But either way you HAVE to get the dog to an ER vet right away.
That is a lot of chocolate for a small dog. Call a vet and talk to them...t 'll ask you what kind of chocolate (dark, milk or white) because the toxicity varies. Also have the approximate amount of chocolate and dog's weight available. T 'll steer you in the right direction. That is a lot of chocolate for a small dog. call vet right away wow i screwed that up!
