A sweet confection made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. White chocolate does not contain cocoa solids or chocolate liqueur, unlike regular chocolate. Since it does not contain cocoa solids or chocolate liqueur, it does not meet sufficient standards to market it as "chocolate" in many countries.
White chocolate is often used in baking, and can sometimes be difficult to work with when melted, as the cocoa butter may split, creating an oily compound that is unusable and must be discarded. Some brands of white chocolate work better for baking than others.
