Why
With around 19 g of net carbs per 100 g (including 14 g of sugars), dark chocolate 85% pushes your count up fast and sits badly with ketosis.

An occasional taste at most — and count it towards your day.
In practice
It depends on the percentage: at 85% the sugar drops a lot and a square or two can fit; 90%+ is better still. Milk chocolate, on the other hand, stays too sugary for keto.
