Is white chocolate actually chocolate?!
Answers: who cares it still tastes good ;)
White chocolate is cocoa butter, sugar and vanilla. The lack of cocoa solids keeps it from having the brown color and full chocolate flavor of normal chocolate.
White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar. Since white chocolate contains neither cocoa solids nor chocolate liquor (cocoa mass), it does not meet the standard to be marketed as chocolate in many countries. Regulations also govern what may be marketed as "white chocolate": In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be at least 20% cocoa butter (by weight), at least 14% total milk solids, at least 3.5% milk fat, and less than 55% sugar or other sweeteners. Before this date, U.S. firms required temporary marketing permits to sell white chocolate. The European Union has adopted the same standards, except that there is no limit on sugar or sweeteners.
It has the texture of dark chocolate because chocolate has a very high fat content. The chocolate fat (cocoa butter) is removed from the chocolate and is used as a basis for making white chocolate.
No.
White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike chocolate, white chocolate contains neither chocolate liquor nor cocoa solids. The low melting point of cocoa butter allows white chocolate and chocolate to remain solid at room temperature, yet melt easily in the mouth. As such, white chocolate has a texture similar to that of milk chocolate.
i think so, i prefer dark/normal chocolate
total waste of time...has none of the health benefits of dark chocolate.
