Milk chocolate is the sweet, creamy member of the chocolate family — made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter and sugar like dark chocolate, but with milk solids added to soften the bitterness and lend a smooth, caramel-malt richness. Lighter brown and far sweeter than dark, it melts gently on the tongue and is by a wide margin the most popular eating chocolate in the world, the form most people picture when they think of a chocolate bar.
