Plain chocolate, also known as dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, is a type of chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids and cocoa butter than milk chocolate. It has a more intense, rich cocoa flavour and is less sweet compared to milk chocolate, which contains added milk solids. Plain chocolate typically contains cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and sometimes vanilla or other flavourings but does not have any milk ingredients. The exact percentage of cocoa solids in plain chocolate can vary, but it generally ranges from 50% to 85% or even higher, with the higher percentages providing a more bitter and intense chocolate flavour. Dark chocolate is often considered to be a healthier option compared to milk chocolate, as it contains more antioxidants and less sugar.
