Dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa solids is less sweet than milk chocolate, yet cocoa butter still makes it one of the most calorie-dense snacks around. Breaking off a couple of squares rather than eating from the bar makes portions easier to track. Bars vary by brand and cocoa percentage, and some contain milk fat, so the label is the best guide.
