2 tablespoon (medium) of Milk Chocolate (Melted) (30 g) has 161 calories. That works out to 535 calories per 100 g. It contains 16.8 g of carbs, 2.3 g of protein, 9.3 g of fat and 0.8 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 10% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Melted milk chocolate is ordinary milk chocolate—made with cocoa ingredients, milk and sugar—that has been gently heated until smooth and pourable. Once it cools, it firms up again. Milk chocolate developed in Europe and is now used in sweets around the world, from home baking to confectionery. Spoon it over cakes or pancakes, dip fruit into it, or stir it into dessert sauces; its creamy texture and sweet, mellow cocoa flavour make it an easy finishing touch. It is energy-dense and provides substantial sugar and fat, with a modest amount of protein. For a lighter dessert, drizzle a little over fresh fruit rather than using it as a thick coating.

Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Melt milk chocolate gently in a dry bowl over barely simmering water, or heat it in short bursts in a microwave. Stir often and remove it from the heat while a few small pieces remain; residual warmth will finish melting them.
Yes, milk chocolate melts in the microwave if you heat it in short intervals and stir between them. It can scorch quickly, so stop before it looks completely melted and let the warm chocolate finish the job as you stir.
Melted milk chocolate usually turns grainy when it gets too hot or comes into contact with even a little water or steam. Use a completely dry bowl and utensils, keep the heat low, and avoid letting the bowl touch the simmering water.
Add a little warm cream to make melted milk chocolate thinner and easier to dip into. Stir it in gradually; water can make chocolate seize, and adding too much liquid can turn a coating into a sauce.
Keep dipped strawberries at room temperature only until the chocolate sets, then serve or chill them. The coating hardens as it cools; dry the berries thoroughly first, since water on their surface can make the chocolate slide off or seize.
Melted milk chocolate needs tempering if you want a firm, glossy coating that releases cleanly from a mould. For drizzling or mixing into a cake batter, tempering is usually unnecessary; simply melting it will do.
Melted milk chocolate can work in a fountain, but it may be too thick on its own. Use chocolate intended for fountains or thin it with a suitable fat, adding a small amount at a time until it flows smoothly.
Melted milk chocolate works well for dipping fruit, drizzling over desserts, filling truffles, or stirring into sauces. Its sweetness and mild cocoa flavor suit simple toppings particularly well; for a less sweet, more intense result, choose dark chocolate.
Store leftover melted milk chocolate in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. It will set firmly, so warm it gently and stir before using; discard it if it has been contaminated by food or wet utensils.
Yes, set melted milk chocolate can be reheated gently. Use a double boiler or short microwave bursts, stirring frequently; avoid high heat, which can scorch the milk solids and leave the chocolate thick or grainy.
