January 23rd, 2011 at 6:08 pmJust yesterday I had 77% cocoa chocolate leaves and they tasted okay. I think I’ve also had 80 or 85% percent chocolate at one point, but I’m not a big fan of the very dark chocolates that are trendy these days.
But in general, I prefer milk chocolate in the 35 to 55% range. The quality of the cocoa and other ingredients is more important than pure cocoa content anyway.
