Milk chocolate is perhaps the most popular type of chocolate. It actually contains only ten to 40 percent cacao mixed with sugar and milk (either condensed milk or milk solids). Milk chocolate is much, much sweeter than dark or bitttersweet chocolate and has a lighter color and less-pronounced chocolate taste.
The Snickers Bar takes its name from the favorite horse of Ethel and Frank Mars, Snickers. It has since become one of America's best chocolate bars, with more than 15 million produced every day.

Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate is made primarily from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, with little to no milk added. It has a higher percentage of cocoa solids compared to other types of chocolate, ranging from 50% to 99%, which gives it a more intense chocolate flavour and a slightly bitter taste.
Dark chocolate is by far the healthiest form of the treat, containing the least sugar and, because of its cocoa content, higher levels of substances that protect the body's cells. If sugar is your number one concern, Allers recommends looking for higher percentages.
