Is White Chocolate really considered a chocolate?

[StormRider]

Or is it really something else?

No, it technically is not chocolate.

White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar and vanilla. When buying white chocolate, look for a brand that contains cocoa butter. There are cheaper versions (which by law cannot be called chocolate) that don't contain any cocoa butter, but their flavor is inferior to those that do.

hmm, i was gonna say it's politically correct chocolate, but i'm not sure of that anymore.

if white chocolate is "white" chocolate than shouldn't "chocolate" be called "black or brown" chocolate?

No its not chocolate. It is basically all the crap leftover from the making of good chocolate... actually there isn't really any real chocolate in it.

Good white chocolates will have cocoa butter in them, but that's the only chocolate-related thing they contain.

Yeah other than that I think its lard or something like that that the remainder of it is made of... I don't really care though, I don't eat white chocolate.

Nah, because chocolate is naturally brown...we had to go out of our way to make white chocolate...
