I'm pretty sure dark chocolate was what the Famous Five used to carry about with them, along with lashings of ginger beer, in case they got trapped in a cave and needed sustenance. I don't think milk chocolate is as good in cave situations.

Apparently they never had lashings of ginger beer. That was made up by the brilliant Channel 4 spoof.
oh, was that the Five Go Mad in Dorset? I'm fairly sure they did have ginger beer as their tipple of choice in the books, but maybe they didn't do lashings.
I'll take everyone's yukky dark chocolate anytime. But, since I usually eat only chocolate that's around 90%, your dark tastes like milk chocolate to me.
