Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate, 70% cocoa

Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate containing only cocoa solids, cocoa butter and sugar. Dark chocolate without added sweetener is known as bitter chocolate[1] or unsweetened chocolate.[2] As with the other two main types of chocolate (milk and white), dark chocolate is used for chocolate bars or as a coating in confectionery.

Government and industry standards of what products may be labeled "dark chocolate" vary by country and market.
