There seems to be a bit of a controversy over whether White Chocolate is really chocolate--some say yes some no and others perhaps!!
Want to read more? Here is a link to Wikipedia where I found this:
"White chocolate is a chocolate derivative. It commonly consists of cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids and is characterized by a pale yellow or ivory appearance. The melting point of cocoa butter, its primary cocoa bean component, is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature.
Type Chocolate
Main ingredients Cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids
Ingredients generally used salt, vanilla extract"
There is lots more infomation there as well. Also if you Google Is White Chocolate Really Chocolate? you will get all of the different opinions--so you decide.
No matter what they (or you think)--it is still my ALL Time Favorite and up until now not all that easy to find in small, relatively inexpensive quantities. But those days may be over---and from what I read somewhere--they may now be around all year instead of only seasonally.
I spotted them in Walgreens a week or so ago--and immediately bought 2 of the individual bags-Of course now I haven't seen them again--but I am ever hopeful that they will start appearing on candy counters and shelves everywhere. AND SOONER RATER THEN LATER.

Ture chocolate or not; White chocolate is one of my all time favorite chocolates. I am choosy about the flavor though, as I've had some that taste waxy or bitter. When I'm using white chocolate to bake I always use Ghirardelli chocolates as the brand doesn't cost much more than the other brands and yet the flavor is 100% better.
I seem to be on the opposite side of the coin. I do not care for white chocolate. I wish I didn't care for any chocolate! It seems to me though white chocolate is chocolate by the ingredients. One of my sons likes a small bit of white chocolate now and then but not regular chocolate. New M&M's white chocolate will be a nice surprise to him.
There is lots of joy in those bags! Dark chocolate is my favorite, but I do like white on occasion! Thanks for sharing!
