Milk chocolate is a sweet confection made from a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. The milk can be in the form of milk powder, liquid milk, or condensed milk, which gives milk chocolate its creamy texture and lighter color compared to dark chocolate. It typically contains around 10-20% cocoa solids, making it less intense in flavor than its darker counterparts.
This popular treat is enjoyed worldwide in various forms, including bars, candies, and desserts. Milk chocolate is often used in baking and as a coating for other snacks, making it a versatile ingredient in the culinary world.
