      It really depends on your preference. But dark chocolate has less sugar and contains antioxidants and minerals compared to milk chocolate.

      Both dark and milk chocolates have the same amount of calories, healthy dark chocolate has fewer carbohydrates and fat than milk chocolate.

      Dark chocolate is thought to be slightly better as it has more antioxidants, however both are okay as a treat. We shouldn’t be eating it for its nutritional value, we should be eating it as a treat. We should eat foods that we enjoy, and if we prefer one over the other, we can eat it. Chocolate can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, and if we eat a wide variety of foods including lots of fruit and vegetables it is perfectly okay.
