About Candies, semisweet chocolate

Semisweet chocolate is the familiar dark baking chocolate sold as chips, bars and chunks. It is made from chocolate liquor (ground cocoa solids and cocoa butter) plus sugar, with little or no milk — darker and less sweet than milk chocolate but sweeter than bittersweet, which is why it is the default for cookies and ganache.

It runs about 480 calories per 100 grams, with roughly 30 grams of fat and around 64 grams of carbohydrate, of which about 55 grams is sugar. Because it carries a real share of cocoa solids it also brings close to 6 grams of fiber and some minerals like iron and magnesium, along with the cocoa flavanols studied for heart health. It is naturally very low in sodium.

Semisweet chocolate is a kitchen workhorse — melted for dipping and drizzling, folded into batter as chips, or chopped into chunks. As an everyday food it is still a sweet, energy-dense treat, but the higher cocoa content makes it a more interesting choice than sweeter, milkier confections.
