Try to find something that says "Dark chocolate" or "Bittersweet
chocolate" (same thing, different country). Those are less likely to have
the milk powder added, especially a nice gourmet brand. Personally, I have
a horn for Droste pastilles - I get the Extra Dark ones, with 72% cocoa.
Your average dark/bittersweet chocolate will have about 52% or thereabouts,
which is still pretty good Also, Lindt is making an 85% cocoa block,
although that doesn't leave much space for sugar, so some people find it
too bitter.
