Milk chocolate is produced by mixing cocoa paste, sugar and powdered milk or liquid. The amount of milk varies according to the recipe and the chocolate brand, but it is generally between 10 and 50% of the total weight. Milk chocolate has a cocoa content lower than that of dark chocolate, and is therefore less bitter and softer on the palate. Milk chocolate is also very nutritious and has many health benefits. It contains antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radicals, and is also rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. It is also an excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamins B and E.
