I have some TJ's 72% cacao - would you call that bittersweet?

I am making Millionaire Bars and the recipe calls for bittersweet.

Yes. A quality semisweet falls around 62%.

Higher percentage has more cocoa butter (fat) and less sugar.

Yes. For me, that is too high for eating chocolate. When I can't...

eat it, it is bittersweet. Semisweet is the usual "dark chocolate" to eat and as Marilyn posted, that's around 60%.
