Whats the difference between semisweet and bittersweet chocolate?
The only difference between semisweet and bittersweet chocolate is the amount of sugar and the amount of chocolate “liquor” found in each. As you might expect, bittersweet chocolate is less sweet than semisweet chocolate. The US FDA has written regulations regarding the use of the terms Milk Chocolate, Semisweet Chocolate, and Bittersweet Chocolate. Technically all of our dark chocolate is bittersweet. Because Chocolove bars are not bitter per se, we could say that any of our flavors with cocoa content of 55% or lower are semisweet and those with a content higher than 55% would be bittersweet.
