   • Milk (whey or casein) is often present in chocolate coatings.

2. Sugar & Fat Content:

   • High in saturated fats (from cocoa butter and milk fat) and added sugars (common in chocolate bars).
   • Not recommended for frequent consumption as part of a balanced diet due to high calorie density.
