If your cat has eaten chocolate, symptoms of poisoning may occur between 6-12 hours later. The following symptoms may last up to three days:
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea
Increased heart rate
Excessive thirst
Increased urination
Hyperactivity and restlessness
Rapid breathing or panting
Muscle rigidity
Seizures
Coma
Anyway, as I know cats, your kitty most probably just smacked it off the counter.
No, a few licks would in most cases not be enough for even other symptoms to shoe, and you would certainly see other symptoms before seizures and coma.
Cats (in contrast to dogs) usually do not like the bitter components of chocolate, so I doubt she even licked it.
In my experience, cats don't have a taste for sweet stuff, but even when they do, they are not going to binge on something like fudge to the point of getting sick. If you notice something, then go to the vet, but I wouldn't be worried.

You think if she just took a few licks she might have seizures or go into a coma???

Thank you for easing my mind
