Your son gets hyper after you give him chocolate because of the sugar content. He's having a sugar high. Every child gets those if they are given foods that have natural and artificial sweeteners in them. They will even get hyper after having caffeinated beverages.

It's probably the chocolate. Chocolate has caffeine in it plus sugar. Of course he's hyper. Some people don't respond to all those stimulants very well. I have been eating chocolate since I was 3. It relaxes me. Just cut out the chocolate or just a small piece once a day. Fruit would be a better more healthy snack. That should calm him down. If not consult his doctor.

Pickles, olives or anything salt cured will bring him down from a sugar high....the caffeine takes time. Save the chocolate for when it's time to get work out of that boy.

You sound like a good father...chocolate is okay for him in small doses at the right time.
Life/Business/Love is all about TIMING, FRICTION & ANGLES.
Don't give him any chocolate after dinner time.
Don't REWARD him when he is good or accomplishes something wtih Chocolate.
Don't use chocolate to gain something (even attention/approval) from him.
Food is for running the body...not for ruining the mind & body.
Keep showing him your love by LISTENING to him...and telling him stories about your childhood.
SUGAR is not helping your situation.

Chocolate has a sugar and caffeine. Limit his intake and you will see a difference.
