You do know white chocolate does not even have chocolate in it, right? When I perused the ingredients of that stuff a few years back, I couldn't stomach the thought of eating it ever again. I believe I saw lard on the list.
Oh, well....I'm just not a fan of regular chocolate....which helps when my crew starts on the chocolate chip cookie baking binge. I may eat one, but that's usually it.
White chocolateFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search This article is about the food. For other uses, see White chocolate (disambiguation).
White chocolate is marketed by confectioners and chocolatiers alongside chocolate.White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids with a pale yellow or ivory appearance. The melting point of cocoa butter is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature, yet low enough to allow white chocolate to melt in the mouth.
[edit] Composition and regulations Raw white chocolateWhite chocolate is made of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar. Most often, the cocoa butter is deodorized to remove its strong and undesirable taste that would negatively affect the flavor of the finished chocolate.[1] Regulations also govern what may be marketed as "white chocolate": In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be (by weight) at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% total milk solids, and 3.5% milk fat, and no more than 55% sugar or other sweeteners.[2] 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.[3] Although white chocolate is made the same way as milk chocolate and dark chocolate, it lacks cocoa paste, liquor or powder. Some preparations that may be confused with white chocolate (known as confectioner's coating, summer coating, or Almond bark) are made from inexpensive solid or hydrogenated vegetable and animal fats, and as such, are not at all derived from cocoa. These preparations may actually be white (in contrast to white chocolate's ivory shade[1]) and will lack cocoa butter's flavor.
Great list.
ReplyDeleteAll except for the chocolate. I prefer white chocolate, instead.

ReplyDeleteNot to spoil your fun, though. :)
