Another common food that surprises with what it's lacking is white chocolate, which technically isn't even chocolate at all. While milk and dark chocolate are made from cocoa solids – cocoa beans removed from pods, fermented, dried, roasted and cracked open – white chocolate isn't. A blend of cocoa butter, milk products, vanilla, sugar and fatty emulsifier lecithin is what makes white chocolate. You might be wondering whether the presence of cocoa butter might be enough to consider it chocolate, but it's only the cocoa solids, or nibs, that define chocolate.
