The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.
White Toblerone is the best chocolate in the world. Next best is Fazer’s Salty liquorice milk chocolate.
It really isn’t. The key flavor factor of Chocolate is it’s bitterness.
White Chocolate totally sacrifices this flavor profile. If you prefer white chocolate you like sugar, not chocolate.
Or like both but prefer sugar (and fat carefully tempered to a delecate snap). But seriously if you don’t like sugar I don’t understand why you would be messing with chocolate anyway.
Incidentally try caramelising white chocolate. fucking great. Which I think supports the white choc ~= sugar hypothesis.
Caramelized white chocolate sounds delightful. Like dulce de leche.
I’m also a dulce de leche lover
If you’ve never tried it, take a can of sweetened condensed milk and simmer it (don’t boil!). It’ll take several hours simmering, but when you open the can you’ll end up with something very similar to dulce de leche inside.
I can get it from the store, but thanks for the tip!
This. I despise how sweet white chocolate tastes. I like that rich bitterness to dark chocolate.
But I was the weird kid who grew up liking dark chocolate over milk chocolate.
Same, I used to eat it in very small amounts.
“You want some chocolate with that sugar?”
I’ve always loved white chocolate. Gives me a tingle in my throat when I eat it.
You should carry an EpiPen for that
Maybe because it’s not chocolate and we should stop calling it this.

It scratches the same itch for me ¯\(ツ)/¯
Depends! If you consider chocolate to be food derived from the cocoa bean, then white chocolate is chocolate because it’s made of cocoa butter without the solids!
The powdery stuff you call cocoa is what’s left over once you get rid of the cocoa butter. So if you feel that cocoa solids are required for something to be classified as chocolate… Then no, it’s not chocolate.
Now let´s also consider the fact that cocoa butter is free of chocolate flavor because all the chocolate flavor remains in the cocoa powder after the separation.
Hence white chocolate
white chocolate aka chocolate without any chocolate flavor
I guess it’s the same as asking if vegetable oil is a vegetable.
Chocolate is cocoa and cocoa butter by definition

Wait, is dark chocolate actually sour to you? Dark chocolate is definitely not sour for me. Bitter maybe, but absolutely not sour.
I am not a native english speaker and i always forget about the word “bitter”, i will correct the post, thanks.
High amounts of criollo beans can grant a sour taste if I recall correctly particularly if they are lower quality as can the method you choose for conching (one of the steps in chocolate making) that Milton Hershey created. If they are thinking of something like Hershey’s Special Dark that has a bit of that sourness to it.
if they are American then dark chocolate can very well taste sour, look into what Hershey did, literally use soured milk to make chocolate…
In the US, we’ve gotten some really good chocolate over the last couple of decades and I’ve mostly avoided Hersheys over that time. We especially have some excellent dark chocolates. Your “bad chocolate” stereotype was all too true and may still be on average, but things are changing.
I’ve never tasted good white chocolate though
I follow your flavor claim, but lose me on the texture bit. They feel veeery similar tbh.
But i cannot STAND white chocolate. Its way too sweet for me, and it overall tastes too much like milk. So much so i usually get 70% cacao content, which would probably be too bitter for your tastes.
I only eat Lindt 70% chocolate. It’s absolutely perfect and I cant stand anything higher or lower in cacao percentage. And the Lindt brand is extremely smooth. So good. And it’s relatively healthy with more fat and protein than carbs, so it satisfies me after about two squares.
I discovered a 65% cacao milk chocolate. You get the strong chocolate flavor but also the milk to balance the bitterness.
I usually prefer dark chocolate but this one is amazing.
All you´re doing is saying that you don’t like chocolate with extra steps …
I have to agree with him white chocolate is superior.
I just don’t like chocolate.
At least you have the courage to say so. I can respect that.
People ITT: gatekeep chocolate.
So the only problem I have with white chocolate is that is seems soooo much sweeter. Like a sickly sweet. Its not bad just not my go to sweet
Completely disagree, though I don’t like dark chocolate all that much either. Upvoted.
Dark chocolate is the only kind I really like anymore.
Milk chocolate is where it’s at for me.
Why would you pretend anyway? Such a nonsensical thing to do, I can’t even comprehend why anybody would do such a thing in this instance.
They probably weren’t actually pretending. Most likely just using the meme phrase for the title.
I like both. Not the super dark bitter stuff, but stuff on the level of Hershey dark is fine. Not saying I’m a Hershey fanboy, but that’s a reference common enough to understand.
Both are better in small doses IMO. White is too sweet, and dark isn’t sweet enough to eat a whole lot at a time.
Milk chocolate hits a perfect spot.
Are saltine crackers your favorite potato chips?
His favorite movie is “books”!
I’d honestly go a different direction with the burn like white chocolate is to chocolate what sweet potato chips are to potato chips.
If we were to figure out where saltine crackers relate to potato chips in reference to chocolate or general sweets I’d say if potato chips are milk chocolate Hershey’s then saltine crackers are toffee.
Sweet potato chips are good though…
I hate sweet potatoes though
Well, can’t argue with that lol. I wonder which opinion on sweet potatoes is the unpopular one.
The real unpopular opinion is always in the comments
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about carrots (cooked and uncooked separately), and melons like honeydew and cantaloupe?
Asking because I dislike all of those (other than raw carrots) and wonder if it’s because they are all very high in vitamin A. I once overloaded from a single (extra strong) vitamin A supplement and wonder if I have some gene that increases my vitamin A intake or something.
Yeah I know white chocolate isn’t technically chocolate but it scratches the same itch for me.
