September 22 is National White Chocolate Day! White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids. It contains no cacao solids or liquor therefore it is actually not chocolate at all, but since it is made from the cacao bean it is still referred to as chocolate. True white chocolate is a pale ivory color. If your chocolate is pure white, it’s not really white chocolate. Regulations from the U.S. government state 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. White chocolate contains only trace amounts of the stimulants theobromine and caffeine. It often has vanilla added for flavor and is the easiest chocolate to add other flavors to such as coffee, orange, mint, etc. You can also add paste or gel colors to make fun candies or suckers.
