There’s something special about dark milk chocolate.
It lives in that beautiful in-between — richer than the milk chocolate you grew up with, but gentler than a bold, high-cacao dark. It’s comforting, grown-up, and perfectly balanced.
Dark milk is made with more cacao than standard milk chocolate — usually 50% or more (I've seen as high as 68%) — which means less sugar, more depth, and room for something else entirely: the personality of the bean.
That’s what sets great dark milk apart. The milk brings softness and roundness, yes — but it’s the bean itself that gets to take centre stage. Whether it’s bright and citrusy, deep and nutty, or warm and spiced, you can actually taste where it comes from.
In great dark milk, the milk doesn’t mask the cacao — it reveals it.
We love dark milk for its quiet confidence. It’s the bar you unwrap when the kettle’s on, the house is quiet, and there’s five minutes just for you.
If you’ve never tried one, you’re in for something unexpectedly wonderful.
I’ll be sharing a favourite bar this week — one that’s soft, deep, and utterly worth savouring.
Stay tuned,
– Shari
