halacha - What is the blessing on dark chocolate?


What do poskim say the bracha is for dark chocolate that has more than 50% cacao in it as the package claims (being that the majority ingredient is cacao)?


(I've seen an opinion who says (Vzot Habracha p. 103 in the name of R' Elyashiv) that we make a shehakol on chocolate even though it warrants a ha'eitz, because there are other ingredients mixed in (they add in parenthesis that there were other reasons for the psak but do not mention the factors). My case would seem to be an exception to that because it is rov cacao.)
