Baking chocolate has a higher proportion of chocolate liquor or chocolate solids than does other kinds of chocolate and has no milk added. Milk chocolate is intended for direct consumption (eating). It has milk as a major component along with sugar and thus has a lower proportion of chocolate liquor or chocolate solids than does dark chocolate and baking chocolate.
