                                While it might seem counterintuitive for a sweet treat, a standard milk chocolate bar typically contains about 35 milligrams of sodium, a relatively small amount. The real question of whether there is much salt in chocolate depends on the type, brand, and any added flavors like caramel or sea salt.
