Replacing dark chocolate with milk chocolate

Asked on 18 Oct 2020 by cookingwithgrandma

I have made this torte for many years, and it's very rich. Is it possible for me to substitute a small amount of milk chocolate for dark chocolate to make it less rich? What I mean is, the recipe says to add 450 g of chocolate in total. Could I add 100 g of milk chocolate and 300 g of dark chocolate instead?
