Unsalted butter vs Cocoa butter
In short
One serving each: 102 calories in unsalted butter (1 tbsp, 14.2 g), 120 calories in cocoa butter (1 tablespoon, 13.6 g). Both get most of their calories from fat.
More in unsalted butter: vitamin A and cholesterol. More in cocoa butter: saturated fat. Everything else is within 4% of a day's needs.

Where they differ
Bar length is the share of a day's needs (FDA Daily Value) in one serving of each. Every row uses the same scale, so a short difference in length is a small difference. Color says which food, never which is better.
