Bittersweet Chocolate

Bittersweet Chocolate

EverydaySweetened

Bittersweet chocolate is a dark chocolate variety containing 60-80% cocoa solids, offering a rich cocoa flavor balanced with moderate sweetness. It contains less sugar than milk or semisweet chocolate, making it popular for baking and gourmet recipes where intense chocolate notes are desired. This form retains cocoa’s natural antioxidants like flavonoids and is often vegan-friendly, though some brands may include dairy. The sweetened version maintains a firm snap at room temperature but melts smoothly for confections or desserts.
