Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Semi-Sweet Chocolate

EverydaySweetened

Semi-sweet chocolate is a dark chocolate variant containing 35-60% cocoa solids, offering a balanced flavor profile that bridges bitter cocoa notes with moderate sweetness. This baking staple—most famously used in chocolate chip cookies—provides enough sugar to enhance desserts without overwhelming other ingredients, while remaining dairy-free in its classic form. Its tempered snap and glossy finish when melted make it ideal for both confectionery coatings and baked goods.
