White Chocolate

White chocolate is a pale ivory confection made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. It tastes milky and sweet with a buttery aroma and melts smoothly but scorches easily over high heat. Sold as bars, wafers, and chips for baking, confectionery, and decoration.\n\nDeveloped in early 20th-century Europe, likely Switzerland, as a way to use cocoa butter separated during chocolate production. It spread through European and North American confectionery and baking, with many regions defining minimum cocoa butter content for labeling.
