English term or phrase: plain chocolate

Hi all!

Source text is from the UK (biscuit ingredients).

I've found several translations for "plain chocolate":

Bitterschokolade
Zartbitterschokolade
dunkle Schokolade

Which translation would be correct?

Thanks to all food experts.

"Zartbitter" ist natürlich auch richtig.

"dunkle Schokolade" würde auch gehen, aber "Bitterschokolade" wäre meine erste Wahl.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks. Taking your reference into account, do you think "plain chocolate" could also be translated with "dunkle Schokolade"?

2 hrs confidence:

peer agreement (net): +1

dunkle Schokolade

Explanation:
Ich tendiere auch zu "dunkle Schokolade", da es um die Zutaten eines fertigen Kekses geht.
Ob es sich wirklich um Bitterschokolade oder Zartbitterschokolade handelt wissen wir ja nicht.

Oder hast du welche zum Probieren? Da helfe ich doch gerne.... ;-)
