Does white chocolate have milk?
Not necessarily. White Chocolate is made by using cocoa butter but not the cocoa solids. There is milk in it, but more sugar is added to make up the bulk. Dark chocolate can be either milk chocolate (chocolate made with milk, but with cocoa solids as well as cocoa butter) or plain chcocolate (chocolate made with cocoa solids and cocoa butter but without milk). If you add white chocolate to milk chocolate then the result will be a very sweet milk chocolate. If you add white chocolate to plain chocolate, the result will be a milk chocolate
