Best Answer

White 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.[3] 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[4]. Before this date, U.S. firms required temporary marketing permits to sell white chocolate. The European Union has adopted the same standards, however there is no limit on sugar or sweeteners.[5] Although white chocolate is made the same way as milk chocolate and dark chocolate, it lacks cocoa solids. 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[3]) and will lack cocoa butter's flavor. (source wikipedia, see more in related links below)

White chocolate is made the same way as Milk Chocolate and dark chocolate -- the difference is the ingredients.

Because white chocolate has no cocoa solids from the chocolate liquor, the FDA doesn't classify it as chocolate
