Nowhere in this article does it say how much! THat opens the door for binging. Truffles, here come I.

That does it-—I’m moving to New Orleans. You know — Ray Nagin’s ‘chocolate city’.

Wished dark chocolate wasn’t so bitter or I would go for it.

It's all about marketing. People like yourself and moi will continue to buy milk chocolate. Nothing wrong with that.
There's some creative marketing going on...Call it Dark chocolate with some good stuff to make it taste better...in reality...call it the semi sweet chocolate chips make over.
To: wally_bert
Yeah I don’t like dark chocolate either. I really like milk chocolate.

I believe there are now bars with dark chocolate with some sugar and other stuff so it doesn't qualify as milk chocolate.
I'm going to Aldi's. I will buy one of each and let you know how my taste testing turns out...besides "Happy".

Does Nutella qualify as dark chocolate? Only if you eat it at night.

Cocoa powder, which is what they tested, is miles away from chocolate candy, which is loaded with sugar and fat. So go ahead, scarf down all the cocoa powder you want, provided that it’s processed without sugar. It’s bitter and will get up your nose.
OTOH, there ARE ways to use cocoa powder in healthy foods. Black Bean Brownies for example. I’ll post the recipe, if anyone would like to see it.
They are sweetened with dates. People like them.

I'm addicted to Bournville, with occasional binges on Green&Black's dark chocolates approaching 90%.
After eating this stuff, milk chocolate is like sucking on a sugar cube!
To: Semper911
I do - late at night - with a spoon.

Yeah I dont like dark chocolate either. I really like milk chocolate.It's an acquired taste. Once you go dark, you never go back.

Dip a few slices of BACON in some and enjoy.

I’d like to see that recipe. Some others might, too. Thanks!
To: Veto!
I’d go for a black bean brownie recipe.
