Dark chocolate by definition is a type of chocolate made without milk (completely vegan!). They only contain cacao beans, cacao butter, and sugar. The healthier versions of dark chocolates contain a relatively higher cacao percentage of 70% and above. 100% chocolate is a type of dark chocolate made purely of cacao and cacao butter, and does not contain any sugar or milk at all. It is intensely bitter and is usually for someone who has specifically tried 100% chocolate and knows what they are expecting.

Milk chocolate is made with cacao beans, cacao butter, sugar, and milk. They tend to be sweeter and are of lower cacao percentage than dark chocolates. Dark milk chocolate is, in a nutshell, milk chocolate for dark chocolate lovers. Dark milk chocolates contain a higher cacao content than traditional milk chocolates and tend to be creamier than pure dark chocolates due to the addition of milk. 

White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and vanilla which are largely the same as those in milk chocolate, but without the cocoa portion of the chocolate liquor. Cocoa butter makes up 50% of the cocoa bean while the other 50% is cacao nibs. Therefore, people that disqualify white chocolate as not “real chocolate” are really just quibbling. We suggest just enjoying white chocolates as they are and also eat the portions of those who are still busy debating.
