Also, I don't think anyone really likes the 90% nonsense. But a good 60% cacao bar is awesome with some red wine or an apple.

It's not the same dark chocolate formula that's used in candy bars, though. It tastes different. I've eaten enough semi-sweet chocolate chips straight from the bag to say this with some authority. And it's not just different the way that Lindt dark chocolate is different than Godiva dark chocolate is different than Ghiradelli dark chocolate, either. Because although I haven't see a dark chocolate Nestle bar to compare Nestle Toll House morsels to, I have eaten Ghiaradelli chocolate chips and they taste different than their candy bars. |
Difference of scale possibly perception. Semi sweet is between 50-75% cacao usually around 60 and bittersweet is higher. Same stuff, different shape. Potentially different quality.
