Kinds of Chocolate
Chocolate Liquor
Produced by grinding the cocoa bean center to a smooth, liquid state. This what makes unsweetened baking chocolate. The liquor and blocks contain roughly 53 percent cocoa butter.
Semi-sweet (Bittersweet) Chocolate
Chocolate liquor plus sweeteners and cocoa butter. Also known as dark chocolate, government standards say that it must contain at least 35 percent chocolate liquor.
Milk Chocolate
Cocoa butter, milk, sweeteners and flavorings plus chocolate liquor. All milk chocolate made in the U.S. contains at least 10 percent chocolate liquor and 12 percent whole milk.
Sweet Chocolate
Contains more sweeteners than semi-sweet chocolate and at least 15 percent chocolate liquor.
White Chocolate
White chocolate contains cocoa butter but no non-fat cocoa solids. It contains sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids and flavorings.
