I think most of the effect comes from theobromine, since it is found in high quantities in dark chocolate (1000 mg in every 100 gram dark chocolate). Theobromine differs from Caffeine by only one Methyl group but still it has very different effects on the human body. It is a mild, lasting stimulant with a mood improving effect.
