What are all the popular types of chocolate?

Answer 1

The differences in chocolates depend largely on the percent of cacao, sugar, and butter fat in the bar, and whether or not it is Milk Chocolate.

The different types of chocolate are:

• Bitter chocolate - unsweetened cocoa solids combined with fat to form a solid bar. Used in cooking and baking.
• Dark or black chocolate - cocoa solids combined with fat and sugar to form a bar. European standard demand a minimum of 35% cocoa solids.
• Semi-sweet - Dark Chocolate with half as much sugar as "sweet chocolate."
• Bittersweet - chocolate to which less than a third by weight sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla, and lecithin have been added.
• Couverture - chocolate rich in cocoa butter. Typically a specialty shop product.
• Swiss Milk Chocolate - chocolate made with milk powder, liquid, or condensed milk, containing a minimum of 10% chocolate liquor, and 25% cocoa solids.
• Hershey Process Milk Chocolate - chocolate produced by the patented process developed by Milton Hershey. The process is proprietary, so is not performed by any but the Hershey Chocolate Company.
• Cocoa Powder - Broma, Dutch processed cocoa to produce a powder used for cooking and baking. Broma is also called natural cocoa and retains its slightly acidic pH. While Dutch Processed cocoa is neutralized with alkali to produce a smoother product.
• Compound chocolate - confection product made by combining cocoa with other vegetable fat (hydrolyzed coconut oil is common), and primary used as a candy coating.
• Raw Chocolate - dried cocoa nibs, or compressed cakes from which most of the cocoa butter has been removed.

White chocolate is not a form of chocolate at all however. White chocolate does not contain cocoa. It is a product of cocoa butter, vanilla, and other solids.
