White chocolate

White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike chocolate, white chocolate contains neither chocolate liquor nor cocoa solids. White chocolate does typically include lecithin as an emulsifier, and certain flavorings, particularly vanilla or vanillin. The low melting point of cocoa butter allows white chocolate and chocolate to remain solid at room temperature, yet melt easily in the mouth. As such, white chocolate has a texture similar to that of milk chocolate, and through the use of undeodorized cocoa butter, retains some degree of its flavor.
