Answer 1

so chocolate is a very vague term. technically, any food that contains any amount of the cocoa bean is considered chocolate. the FDA does somewhat regulate what can be called chocolate. but there’s a wide range of what will fall into this category. generally. the less milk solids/cocoa powder the lower the quality chocolate. things that replace it are typically water, sugar, and flavoring to create some low quality chocolate. because in general, the usa doesn’t really have much of a luxury chocolate market as maybe compared with other countries.
