Well, aside from the health aspects, I have always believed that the
true quality of any chocolate maker can best be found in their dark
chocolate. This, because I feel that the inferior flavor of a poorer
quality of bean can be masked by the milk powder and higher sugar
content of milk chocolate. For instance, can you really taste the
quality of Cadbury's _cocoa_ under all that milk powder and sugar?
Blindfolded, I doubt I'd taste much difference between their Dairy
Milk and their white stuff!
