OK, I'm confused. My son is anaphylactic to dairy & eggs, allergic to many others, not allowed to try
peanut. I recently decided that restricting chocolate from him is not ultimately necessary, and I'd
like to be able to make some chocolate-ridden dairy-free sweets occasionally (OK, I'm a chocoholic).

If you look on the cocoa box, the ingredients say "100% cocoa".

If you buy unsweetened chocolate bars for baking (watch out, some have peanut listed in the
ingredients!), it says "100% chocolate".

What's the difference? Do either contain dairy? How do they make cocoa and chocolate? I always
thought that cocoa as derived from the plant itself. Is unsweetened chocolate just a different
form of cocoa, or is it a different product altogether? What is safe and what is not? AAUUGGGHHH!

Thanks in advance for educating me once more.
