What is white chocolate?

White chocolate is different from its darker counterpart since it does not have cocoa solids in it.

In the strictest terms, that means that it’s not really a form of chocolate at all! But it tastes so good and works like chocolate does, so I am not quibbling about semantics.

The US Food and Drug Administration has a long article on the composition of white chocolate for the food purists out there.

Even if it’s not technically chocolate, it sure looks good on the outside of desserts and candy!

Even though it has been accepted into the family, according to the regulation by the FDA it still must contain at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% total milk solids and 3.5% fat and must contain less than 63% sugar to be labeled “white chocolate.”

With this composition, it is the perfect component in white chocolate desserts.

Sure, you can just head to the store and pick up a package of white chocolate covered pretzels to celebrate but we can do better than that, can’t we?

Try one of these amazing desserts to celebrate White Chocolate Day in style.

White chocolate peppermint cookies

These yummy and crunchy sugar cookies are dipped in melted white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint for a super easy and tasty cookie to share with a loved one.

Peppermint is one of those things that always makes me think of Christmas, just like gift giving, making snowmen, and poinsettia plants do. Fittingly, National Poinsettia Day falls in December.

White chocolate truffles and candy

These pastel looking Brigadeiro White Chocolate Truffles are lightly covered in pink and red candy hearts. They are a favorite dessert in Brazil.

Chocolate and hearts are two of the symbols of Valentine’s Day, and the candy decorating these truffles are in all three of the Valentine’s Day colors, so this would be the perfect dessert to serve for that holiday.

These red velvet cheesecake truffles have a yummy white chocolate coating and creamy cheesecake center. Red desserts are great for either Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

White chocolate is just one of the many ways to use chocolate as a coating on caramel apples.

There are dozens of caramel apple toppings and many of them feature chocolate.

This white chocolate mosaic fudge uses dried fruit to make the fudge look like stained glass. It make it the perfect Christmas dessert.

You could leave out a piece for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve! If you have little ones, make sure you check out our posts with Santa’s address, and the official Santa phone number.

This platter of mint chocolate fudge started off with a big ole bowl of white chocolate chips. Green get food coloring and dark chocolate morsels give it the darker color.

Use your holiday cookie cutters to turn normal white chocolate peppermint bark into fun and festively shaped holiday bark.

White chocolate cakes, bars, and brownies

Dark chocolate brownies are wonderfully delicious, but white chocolate makes these snickerdoodle blondies into a much more refined looking dessert.

Peanut butter is always a crowd pleaser, but pair it with white chocolate and you end up with these special white chocolate peanut butter brownies. YUM!

What’s better than a cookie or a cake? Why this white chocolate macadamia nut cookie cake! It’s full of flavor and makes a nice presentation for a fancy dinner party.
