#10: White Chocolate Has No Cocoa Solids
White chocolate is the troublemaker of the chocolate family. It contains cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and flavorings, but no cocoa solids, which is why chocolate purists like to start arguments about it. Legally, it can qualify as white chocolate under certain standards if it contains enough cocoa butter. Flavor-wise, it is sweet, creamy, and vanilla-forward rather than cocoa-rich. So yes, it comes from the cacao bean. No, it is not dark chocolate’s pale cousin with the same personality.
