The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.

      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.

            Well, can’t argue with that lol. I wonder which opinion on sweet potatoes is the unpopular one.

            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.

    White chocolate literally just tastes like sugar and fat. And “sour”??? What dark chocolate are you eating? This one actually pissed me off fr. Truly unpopular opinion.

        As an American pushing 40, I will tell you, in my whole life, I have rarely ever seen someone just eating a Hershey bar. And I mean very rarely, like twice in my life. They are usually used in some other way like S’mores.

        When someone wants just chocolate they grab something better like Ghirardelli or something.

      I did a chocolate tour once. They explained that beans from certain places do have a more sour taste and some bars have it. Its been a while so I don’t even remember which beans it was but it is a real thing.

    As a Belgian I consider myself a bit of an ambassador on chocolate and after discussing this with all my fellow countrymen we came to the unanimous conclusion that you are wrong. Please apologize and remove this post.

    Maybe because it’s not chocolate and we should stop calling it this.

      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.

    TIL, some people think solidifed mix of powdered milk & sugar is chocolate.

    Thank you for satisfying yourself with that and leaving chocolate for the rest of us.

    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.

      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.

      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.

            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.

      True. In fact all chocolate is for children. Real adults appreciate the complex flavors and harsh bitterness of dirt which reminds them of their bitter and complex adult selves.

    You enjoy sweetened cocoa butter rather than the fermented product of the cocoa bean, one is chocolate and the other is not. You enjoy the one that is not chocolate, but makes a great moisturizer if you don’t add sugar.

    Comparing white chocolate to dark chocolate makes as much sense as comparing macarons to macaroni :P

    Other than that, enjoy white chocolate moderately, preferably with friends, and enjoy your weekend, kind human being :)

    Are you a serial killer or just an absolute freak in other ways? White chocolate tastes like someone mixed jizz and chalk dust into some bland milk chocolate.
