From the White Chocolate Wiki:
White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. The melting point of cocoa butter is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature, yet low enough to allow white chocolate to melt in the mouth.
and
In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be at least 20% cocoa butter (by weight), at least 14% total milk solids, at least 3.5% milk fat, and less than 55% sugar or other sweeteners[4].
Then they say this:
Before this date, U.S. firms required temporary marketing permits to sell white chocolate.
I'm boggled.
And now I want white chocolate.
Good
white chocolate is... good.
White chocolate is not chocolate. I LOVE Calli's chicken fat comparison.
Sigh I surrender myself to the mission. So gimme a list.
Once I'll have enough money, I'll buy all of you haters (yes: heretic HATERS) Snowies, send it away and then you'll see what I mean why I say Max Brenner will change the way you feel about chocolate.
What, only the haters get the goodies?
Fine, then: I HATE white chocolate. In fact, I hate all chocolate. White, milk, dark; gross. Like chicken fat, it is.
I hate money. Boy, do I hate money.
Especially $100 bills.
I agree it probably shouldn't be called chocolate. But whatever it is, I love it. (Only the good stuff, though. The cheap stuff tastes like sweetened school paste.)
Lindt's white chocolate Lindor Truffles (with smooth white chocolate filling) are a good example of the good stuff.
My dad just called me to say I got a package from "someone named Nicole"!
Will open it tonight, can't wait!
Eee! I can haz package from Oregon! I'm doing an open-and-post...
...this is a very well-sealed package...
OK, I'm in.
Socks! Socks with toes! Long socks with toes! So warm-looking and colourful! Just what every sometimes-housebound researcher dealing with English weather needs. Yay!
Ooh, a book that made my Secret Santa laugh out loud. 'Bizarre Books: A Compendium of Classic Oddities'. Oh, that's genius. "Frog Raising for Pleasure and Profit"; "Ultracool Dwarfs". Hah!
Oh, pretty notebook. I carry one in every bag I own, and I own a lot of bags, so this will come in very handy.
A pen on a chain that can go around my neck! Fastens with magnets so I can write with it at will! Someone knows I don't usually have many free hands. :D
Oh and look, a spiky hedgehog to keep my jewellery in one place next to my bed - that's pure genius. I am always dropping my engagement ring and cross chains down the side of my nightstand.
Oh and homemade cookies! How fantastic! Tasting... Oh, a taste of America. Awesome. (Really good cookies!)
The present is completed with little cards and envelopes.
Thank you, SA! *bounce* *puts socks on* *more bouncing*
