White Chocolate

By Elizabeth LaBau, About.com

Definition: White chocolate is a confection that contain a blend of milk, cocoa butter, and sugar, and often vanilla or other flavorings. White chocolate does not contain any cocoa solids and does not have a chocolate flavor. It gets its name from the cocoa butter it contains, although cheap varieties of white chocolate will have most or all of the cocoa butter replaced by vegetable fats.
