White chocolate is CANDY, but it is NOT chocolate.

 white chocolate bites 

white chocolate is to candy what vinegar is to beverages. its just wrong.

There is a difference between cocoa mass and cocoa butter. So to say there is no cocoa in white chocolate is incorrect; there is cocoa butter, but not cocoa mass. And to say that white chocolate is just cocoa butter and sugar is also incorrect; it may also contain milk powder and some form of flavouring such as vanilla.

 Dark and milk chocolate 

Personally,I like milk chocolate best but I have read numerous times that dark chocolate is better for your health. It is actually good for you. So, I coat fresh strawberries with dark chocolate and find that the combination is quite good! Dark chocolate has antioxidants that milk chocolate doesn't have. Anyway, that's what I've read.

 Garoto Chocolate...Brazilian Chocolate 

I just bought a box of Garoto chocolates to share with guests who I was entertaining yesterday. The box looked very inviting...foreign chocolates all wrapped in brightly colored, tempting foils and cellophane. The chocolates were HORRIBLE! Tasteless, crumbly...I was embarrassed to have presented these to my guests! They weren’t out of date...although they tasted extremely stale...absolutely disgusting. I don't know how these were made...just don't be fooled by the pretty foreign chocolate box. YUCK!!!

White chocolate does NOT qualify as chocolate - there is absolutely nothing chocolate about it! It is like calling a vanilla steamer coffee.

I love it.

 Haigh's Chocolate 

I tried Haigh's chocolate the other day after a recommendation from a friend who knew I was a chocoholic. Haigh's chocolate is absolutely DISGUSTING. It is awful and tastes cheap and nasty. The best chocolates I have ever found in the WORLD are made by Belle Fleur. (Rozelle in Sydney). I truly have travelled the world with an open mind to try and find something that compares...Belle Fleur always wins hands down. I am open to any other suggestions...please email me and let me know if there's better. Oh, another to keep away from Kimberley's (Leichhardt-ish)...I am so surprised they have not been shut down by the health department. I did a chocolate course there and the hygiene is digusting (as well as their chocolates). I know I sound harsh...just my opinions.

 White Chocolate 

So-called white chocolate has no cocoa in it. It started out as being made of cocoa butter (a good, healthy fat), but now it only needs a small amount of cocoa butter to call itself "chocolate," and adds other not-so-good fats and flavors. The same thing is hapening to dark chocolate--the good cocoa butter is being replaced by inferior fats. I figure the same people who like milk chocolate go for white chocolate because both have dry milk and extra sugar in them.

well u see in the history of nail clippers, elbows have played a major role. u see, in the time of the dinosaurs. snacks such as doritos tended to stay afloat. but these days when u get stuck, well just call caa. they're favorite grocery store, is sobeys, cuz they have the best instant pudding. dwarf rabbits live in your room, watching u at nite. anyways, u see, their is a high tendency of high school. Pizza hut now has a fire safety program, and when you dine in u can get five dollars off. oh,and white chocolate is my favorite, except it makes my phalanges hurt

Jay, Do you know if carob contains caffeine or theobromine? Loretta

 Substitue for Chocolate 

carob is a great sub for chocolate. It is from carob tree instead. It has a very similar tase to chocolate. It is healthier.

Sorry, I didn't include my email address on my last post. If anyone knows if white chocolate contains either theobromine or caffeine, please let me know. I am looking for a substitute for regular chocolate and I am considering white chocolate due to palpitations. Thanks.

 Loretta ,   Cleveland OH    02/21/07 
 Is there caffeine or theobromin in white chocolate? 

I cannot eat chocolate due to the caffeine and theobromin which causes palpitations. Is there theobromin or caffeine in white chocolate?

 Some Guy,   Los Angeles CA  fhunn@hotmail.com      02/13/07 

For me, I really like white chocolate, but it's difficult to get the white chocolate experience: 1) Most things labeled "white chocolate" lack the key ingredient of cocoa butter (including brands we usually trust) 2) White chcolate is a subtle flavor and almost any other flavor will drown it out (and I'm considered a "super taster") 3) It takes a lot of white chocolate to get the same "hit" as a regular "bite size" chocolate (for me, 1/3 of a package of chips).

 Bob ,   Lawrenceville GA    02/10/07 
 white chocolate??? 

White 'Chocolate'??? Talk about oxymorons!! Chocolate is BROWN or BLACK (Dark Chocolate) in color. If it's white, orange or any thing other than true chocolate it's NOT chocolate!!! Even if the last 'chocolate' candy bar in thee world was white 'chocolate' I would not eat it!!!

 White chocolate : the truth 

For the ignorant: white chocolate can be called chocolate in europe. Composition of Dark chocolate: Cocoa butter, cocoa powder, sugar Composition of White chocolate: cocoa butter, sugar. So the only diference is the absence of cocoa powder that is why the colour is different. The rest is a question of vocabulary and more important of individual taste.

white chocolate is not chocolate, it does not contain and cocoa, therefore it is not a true chocolate.

 'course it is! 

I love chocolate, chocolate is delicious and white chocolate is delicious, so it's chocolate and besides, why else would they call the white stuff chocolate?;)

 chocolate 

Though I do enjoy the white imposter, it is not of the same category there is no chocolate liqour in the production that is why it does not of the same smell and taste of milk chocolate.
