That's what I thought too until I removed most sugar from my diet. I used
to dislike dark chocolate too - I think Hershey's dark was the only type I'd
eaten, and definitely would leave those alone if there was milk chocolate
available.

Once I went to a low-sugar diet, giving up candy, I found a
previously-unknown world of chocolate existed. Like many foods, it took
some getting used to...but now I could never eat milk chocolate even if I
was given it for free! Dark chocolate is rich and luxurious; milk chocolate
is insipid by comparison.

No, dark is not as sweet, but once you get used to it the milk chocolate
just won't do. And it's so low on the glycemic index, your body doesn't see
it as "candy". You have to watch how much you eat because it's
calorie-dense, though.
