Dark chocolate has more cocoa and less sugar than milk chocolate, with a deeper, slightly bitter taste. Bars are labelled by cocoa percentage, and a few squares often go with coffee after dinner.
Higher-cocoa bars have less sugar but a similar total, so the size of the portion matters more than the percentage.
