I'm not claiming to be an expert, I'm sure there's definitions and food science that I simply don't know.
That said according to WikiHow (a scholarly resource I'm sure
)

Dark Chocolate has more cocoa powder than anything else
That said, I never realize how much sugar was in milk chocolate, sweet Moses.
We're in agreement that chocolate isn't candy, but I need to figure out why milk chocolate isn't candy other than it feels wrong. Perhaps it's temperature boiled at?
Regardless, it's one of those things that I know is right, but I need to understand why. Like when Newton knew that things fell, just needed to figure out why.
(Yes I compared myself to Isaac Newton, yes it is heavy handed, no I'm no scientist, but yes I'm just as, if not more, awesome than him).
