you should definately have it throw it all back up. I would call an emergency vet and see what they reccomend you give it.

After eating all of that you'd like for her to run around? :)
My Goodness, your puppy has bigger and stronger stomach than any other dogs... Wow :)
Don't worry, she'll be alright. She's just trying to rest and digest everything she just ate. I think she was very hungry or decided to do what other humans do: To heck with the regular food, let's eat something else for a change and have fun doing it! I think, it's the dog's version of cravings.
You're right, chocolate can be dangerous to a dog, if only the dog is eating it every single day and it also depends on the kind of dog you have. Judging by what she ate so far and it never happened before (it's only one time thing), she'll be alright as long as no one would tell her to fetch a ball :) Later on when she'll feel like walking around and if you're still concerned, take her to the vet and explain what happened. He/she might be surprized that the puppy ate all of that, but they'll also either give or prescribe something to be included in the nutrition so that way this will not happen again and you won't have to worry about anything. The vet might do couple of tests just to be on the safe side. Just make sure to walk her in the next 12-24 hours when she's walking around on her own, and let her run to the bathroom without any interuptions because all of that is bound to come out sooner or later.

Your dog should be okay. I have an Irish Wolfhound that ate several pounds of chocolate a few years back. He's perfectly fine now. Lying right near me taking a nap right now as a matter of fact. If you are really worried or your dog starts acting funny, call a vet and tell them what happened.

You should probably call and ask a vet. My dogs have eaten MANY things before and they were just fine, but some dogs have really sensitive stomachs. Sometimes it takes a while to react to this. But yeah, you should call a vet. Oh, and raisins/grapes are also toxic to dogs. And I mean fatally toxic! I heard of a lab who died from it. Hope your dog is ok!

if she just ate it- giver hydrogen peroxide 1teaspoon for every 10 pounds of weight up to 2 tablespoons followed by water to make her vomit. Unfortunately chocolate can be fatal to dogs. Call an emergency vet number for more info.

well... you should get a vet!
Is that too hard to know? If something is wrong with your pet call a vet! If he is just lying still... he probably will die, chocolate is poison to dogs.
