What is white chocolate?

White chocolate does not cocoa powder.  Real white chocolate does contain cocoa butter which contributes to it having a chocolate flavor.  Don’t be fooled by something called white chocolate flavored.  This is not real white chocolate.  As the name states it is chocolate flavored and does not contain cocoa butter.
