what is chocolate considered
The most popular type of chocolate to consume, yet the one with the least nutritional benefits, is milk chocolate. This form of chocolate is required by the FDA to have a minimum of 10% cocoa solids and 12% milk solids (condensed milk, cream, dried milk, milk powder, etc.) to be considered milk chocolate. The rest of it is made up of sugar and other ingredients (like fillings) to create a much sweeter taste than other chocolates.
