semisweet chocolate
Moderately sugared cocoa
Semisweet chocolate is a dark chocolate with moderate sugar content, less sweet than milk chocolate but sweeter than bittersweet.
It's the standard chocolate for American baking, especially chocolate chip cookies: The recipe calls for one cup of semisweet chocolate chips.
The terms semisweet and bittersweet are often used interchangeably, though semisweet typically contains slightly more sugar.
