A Slice of Chocolate Pie Chart
Even if you don't like percentages and figures, the financial crisis has caused everyone to be a little more aware of numbers. Lucky for us, the idea of number-crunching can be converted to chocolate-munching.
Tina Roth Eisenberg of the blog Swiss Miss, clued us in to Mary & Matt's chocolate pie chart. At five and a half ounces, the chocolate breakdown works to, 70 percent milk, 20 percent dark, and 10 percent white. How do you like those numbers? I just wish there were something like this when I was studying the math section for the GREs, I am sure my score would have been higher.

Gimme dark anytime!
To my way of thinking, It should be 85% dark, 15% milk, and 0% white (strictly speaking, white "chocolate" isn't chocolate, and imo a complete ripoff when sold as such.)

Math makes me dizzy. I like easy numbers. 100% dark is great for me, thanks!

I am a chocoholic and love all three varieties. Milk chocolate is my favorite, followed by dark and then white. I know this preference goes against the grain of so many devout chocophiles, but I know many "closeted" chocolate fanatics who actually consume much more milk chocolate than the dark they so loudly pronounce as their favorite.

Not being chocolate hardly keeps white chocolate from being delicious, so I'm all for the mix.

Oooh very cute! Just switch the dark and the milk and I'd be a happy camper! Dark chocolate is the way to go.

White chocolate is made from cocoa butter. Still made from the cocoa bean, just without any solids. So in my book it's still chocolate, and yes, it is delicious.

Math never tasted so good! I think I ate too much chocolate this holiday season, but it doesn't stop me from reading about it, and writing about it, in this, my first Serious Eats comment for 2009!
