Chocolate is indeed toxic for dogs, the active ingredient being theobromine. The concentration of theobromine is higher in dark chocolate and a fairly good rule is that the more expensive and better quality the chocolate, the greater the risk of a toxic dose being eaten. Your Santa is likely to be cheap milk chocolate, mostly hollow as deer warden says. So unlikely to be a problem with just one. However if you are concerned about him - vomiting, dull etc then see your vet.
