Using this food reference
This reference covers dark chocolate with 70–85% cacao solids. Milk chocolate, white chocolate and filled chocolate bars are different food identities.
The ounce comparison is based on weight rather than a fixed number of squares. Square and bar sizes vary, so compare the grams eaten and check the product label when its recipe differs from the reference.
