The Science Behind Why Dark Chocolate Is So Bitter

That's what sugar is for.

For that reason (bitter taste), I usually prefer milk chocolate. I know we’re told dark chocolate is ‘better’, but everyone has their own reactions and preferences to flavors.
Sees Candy has some good selections. Price has gone up in last 2 years. Big Sugar (brown, tan and white) strikes again!

**Not About Chocolate. However...
Same thing again, with certain commonplace fish products.
We are told that albacore is ‘better’ than plain old canned, processed tuna, but I don’t think so.

The albacore I’ve had is sort of flat in flavor - if one is making a tuna sandwich or salad. If you are cooking with it, say, adding tuna to a pot of wild rice with green onions and curry powder, the milder flavors of the albacore are probably the best choice to embrace all the neighboring flavors and spices without becoming too salty.

Cocoa butter is the fat and is used by itself to make white chocolate.

Try and find white chocolate made with cocoa butter. In my area, I certainly can't without going to a specialty confectioner's shop.

It's all crap fats now. e.g., palm oil.

Interesting piece.

I have never much cared for chocolate, but I really dislike dark chocolate.

“Even the dark chocolate, while much more bitter than milk chocolate”. The Mrs. likes dark chocolate, me, gotta be milk chocolate.

I prefer the bitterness of dark chocolate - makes it more satisfying and less likely to be binged on...
