What is "milk chocolate"?

Milk chocolate is a popular type of chocolate that is known for its creamy and sweet flavor. It is made from a mixture of cocoa solids, milk powder, sugar, and often a small amount of vanilla or other flavorings. Milk chocolate typically has a lower percentage of cocoa solids than dark chocolate, ranging from 10% to 50%. The addition of milk powder gives the chocolate a creamy and smooth texture, and the sugar provides a sweet and indulgent flavor. Milk chocolate can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet and satisfying snack, or can be used as an ingredient in a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and brownies.
