Dark Chocolate Vs Milk Chocolate By IcePrincess on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Toblerone is one of my favourite chocolate brands. Last weekend I had two varieties of Toblerone, Swiss Dark Chocolate (with honey and almond nougat) and Swiss Milk Chocolate (with raisins, honey and almond nougat), bought on sale. When it comes to chocolate, I have no specific preference, but other members of the family preferred to eat more the milk chocolate because dark chocolate is a bit bitter, so I had most of the dark chocolate. I rarely check ingredients of food I commonly take but found time to compare it this time. Common ingredients to them are sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, honey, almonds, egg white, and emulsifier. Dark Chocolate is composed of cocoa solids in minimum of 50%, while the Milk Chocolate has 28% and more on milk and milk powder and vanillin flavouring.
I'm not a nutrition expert so I'll just leave this information (per 100g chocolate) for comparison:
Dark Chocolate:
Energy 2090 kJ / 500kcal
Fat 30g
Protein 6g
Carbohydrates 50.5g
Sugars 47g
Sodium 6mg
Milk Chocolate
Energy 2080 kJ / 495kcal
Fat 25.5g
Protein 5.1g
Carbohydrates 61g
Sugars 60g
Sodium 53mg
For me I like chocolates and would like to have at least 100g of it every week or every other week.

Never heard of Toblerone before. I'll keep my eyes open. Nice review!
I have had these and they are delicious. When i can find them they are a treat to me and my friends who like chocolate.
Yum! I haven't had these in quite a few years. Normally someone in my past job would always give me one for Christmas but since I work from home now, I don't get them any longer. Guess I need to purchase it for myself now.
I do have to say I love chocolate and some times I forget how bad it really is so thanks reminding me!! Just Kidding! Great review!!
Yummy! Now I want a Toblerone Bar!
My youngest daughter's favorite. I've never had them, but then chocolate doesn't like me much ;) Thanks for the info.
I love the honey and almond one! I don't have them too often though, I am craving one right now just fro reading your review!
