About
Dark chocolate is a dense cocoa confection that packs nearly eleven ounces into a single measuring cup.
Dark chocolate has a typical density of roughly 81 pounds per cubic foot (1.3 grams per milliliter). This compact structure means one US cup holds about 10.9 ounces (308 grams) of chocolate. It is much denser than granulated sugar or all-purpose flour, which both weigh far less per cup. Because of this high density, a standard 3.5-ounce (100-gram) dark chocolate bar occupies very little physical space.
From Wikipedia
Dark chocolate, also known as plain chocolate and black chocolate, is a form of chocolate made from chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and sugar. It has a higher cocoa percentage than white chocolate and milk chocolate.
