You're confusing Dark and White chocolate.
100% Dark chocolate isn't 100% cocoa butter, it's the non-fat solids. If you eat some it's quite obviously not fatty, it's bitter and dry like a burnt coffee bean.
Edit: I'm mistaken here, dark chocolate is half fat, TIL.
- phonypc 7y ago100% chocolate is roughly half fat by weight, easily verified by looking at the nutrition information on the packaging. Not to be confused with cocoa powder, which is indeed just the non-fat solids. As you add sugar to chocolate, the proportion of total weight that is fat goes down, and fat being more calorie dense than sugar, calories per unit weight go down.
- newnewpdro 7y agoYou're right, I'm mistaken - I didn't realize even 100% dark chocolate is half fat by weight.
