Dark and Semi-sweet chocolate are evil, disgusting little wastes of chocolate.

Semi-sweet.

I hate those stupid milk chocolate chips. They don’t melt right at all. Semi-sweet are perfect, and you can make anything chocolate covered with them.

I love how this topic is alive. People really have their chocolate addictions.

I just dipped Strawberries in chocolate and I used the Semi-Sweet. I liked that combo with the sweetness of the strawberries.

OOh, what a great question! I think about this too every time I go to make cookies and I love both of them, so it’s difficult. Some things are better with milk chocolate though, like schotcheroos, so I usually use semi-sweet for cookies to save my milk chocolate ones. They both have such a different taste – I think it’s a mood thing. I think oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are great with semi-sweet and non-oatmeal cookies are better with milk. I do it different every time!

UGH! I always hated the semi-sweet – I must be a LeBaron rebel (sorry mom and Jor). My vote is milk chocolate – all the way!!!!

Dark chocolate is so over rated! It’s like voting for Obama. It’s the hip thing to do, so you’ve got to jump on the bandwagon and do it.

Who cares if it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth? Seriously. I’ve tried the best chocolates the world has to offer and dark just doesn’t get the job done.

If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll become a chocolate centrist and move back towards milk chocolate.

And, by the way, my advise isn’t to buy a bag of chocolate chips at all. Buy a really nice, cheap bar from Trader Joes and just chop it up. The fun of biting into different sizes of chocolate is worth well worth the effort for real chocolate – and you can save on the cost.

Just a thought from a guy who makes cookies at least every other year!

In cookies I am a semi-sweet kind of girl, but for eating by the handful, I go with milk chocolate. Mmmmmmm. I too can’t do the dark chololate – not enough sugar!

I must agree with Grandma Jani. Semi-sweet for very sugary cookies. Use sweet milk chocolate for pancakes, per your suggestion.

There’s no question….it’s dark chocolate all the way! The cookies are already sweet from the regular and brown sugar. Dark chocolate chips cuts back on how sweet they taste. I also love them with toasted slivered almonds (spread the nuts on a cookie sheet; bake at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes) So now you know why Jor loves dark. When he was little, I probably baked cookies five times a week (w/o the nuts)! :0)
