There is not much chocolate in these bars and the good thing is that it is milk chocolate (much less toxic than dark chocolate). Even if each of the bars was solid milk chocolate, he would not get enough for a toxic dose, so Apollo should be fine.

If you happen to see him vomiting, then I would be concerned that he ate more than the reported amount, because this would be the first sign of toxicity. If he starts vomiting, then it's best to take him to the vet. Again, it's very unlikely with this small of amount.

I hope that helps and all goes well with Apollo.
