Best Answer

Milk Chocolate contains more fat, milk / milk fats / milk solids, and sugar, while Dark Chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa powder in it. The milk and fats are what melt at a lower temperature. Since dark chocolate has more cocoa powder and less fats, it will take longer to melt.

Dark chocolate has a higher pecent of cocoa in it that milk chocolate, white chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate does. The less cocoa there is, the more sugars, milks, and fats are put in.
