Milk chocolate is a sweet spot — literally — between dark and white chocolate. It has the cocoa depth that white chocolate lacks, but it’s mellowed by the addition of milk solids and sugar. The result is a familiar, comforting flavor with a slightly caramelized or malty profile.
#### Flavor Notes:
* Cocoa and caramel
* Creamy milk
* Toasted sugar or malt
#### Best Uses:

When deciding between white and milk chocolate, consider the overall sweetness and depth of flavor you want in your recipe or snack:
* **Choose white chocolate** when you’re working with bold or tart ingredients like berries, matcha, or lemon — its sweetness softens stronger flavors.
* **Choose milk chocolate** when you want a touch of cocoa richness without the intensity of dark chocolate, especially in classics like brownies or candy coatings.
