Solid chocolate is known as milk chocolate when mixed with either powdered, liquid, or condensed milk. Although candy bar manufacturers use milk chocolate to make their most popular candy bars, the candy bar isn't the healthiest of the chocolates. The awards for nutrition are given to dark chocolate. Milk chocolate bars on the calories are packed with added sugar and fat. The calorie count keeps increasing, and milk chocolate's popularity in baked goods continues to rise. We don't forget, we add it to specialty coffee drinks and other beverages, too.
We've been adding milk to chocolate beverages since the mid-17th century, in fact. Daniel Peter introduced milk chocolate in 1875 by mixing a powdered milk made by Henri Nestlé with the alcohol. It's been milk chocolate heaven ever since.
