What it is
Semisweet chocolate is a type of dark chocolate that contains less sugar than milk chocolate. It is made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar. The "semisweet" designation indicates a moderate level of sweetness and a rich chocolate flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use semisweet chocolate for its rich flavor and texture in a variety of desserts. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and brownies, as well as in candy bars, ice cream, and as a coating for frozen treats.
Health notes
Semisweet chocolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains flavanols, which are antioxidants that may have some health benefits. However, it also contains sugar and fat, so moderation is advised. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chocolate and its components.
Allergen info
Semisweet chocolate is not a major allergen. However, it may be manufactured on equipment that also processes milk, soy, or nuts, leading to potential cross-contamination.
