Quick and Easy Homemade Chocolate Bars: Milk White and Dark Chocolate Recipes (No Cocoa Butter)

The fir eats / Julia Hartbeck

Dark chocolate is chocolate without added milk solids. The basic ingredients are cocoa beans sugar and an emulsifier such as soy lecithin to retain texture and flavors such as vanilla. The more cocoa and less sugar dark chocolate has the more bitter it will taste and a small amount is considered a healthy snack. The taste also makes it a popular type of chocolate for baking and melting for various desserts.

Dark chocolate has a more pronounced real chocolate flavor than milk chocolate. It does not contain any milk solids or excess sugar that creates the sweet chocolate flavor found in most candy bars. However the lack of milk additives also means that dark chocolate is more prone to a dry chalky texture and a bitter aftertaste.
