Yes. Milk Chocolate is simply Dark Chocolate with milk and sugar added. Dark chocolate also has many health benefits that milk chocolate does not share, such as fiber and iron. Dark chocolate has significantly less calories than milk chocolate, although there is not a huge difference in grams of fat.
