I’m aware “white ‘chocolate’” is just cocoa butter or not actual chocolate but I wonder why there isnt a dark white chocolate if even only as a marketing gimmick

Couldnt they fuck around and make white chocolate even cheaper for the manufacturer by grading it similarly?

Like “white chocolate” only == cocoa butter if u willing to pay, otherwise, Palm butter “chocolate” for you! Wast Cadbury trying to pull some bullshit like that at some point in the last few years?

    “Dark” chocolate contains a certain percentage of an ingredient called cacao (not cocoa; pronounced “ka-kow”). White chocolate doesn’t contain any cacao and I believe it’s impossible to incorporate the two.

    We got weird products like black noodles, dyed with squid ink. Some people buy them once, and the rest usually collects dust on the supermarket shelves. I don’t think these products are profitable.

        Wouldn’t buy them again. They taste a bit off, due to the dye. Also there’s the novelty factor but they don’t look that appetizing once cooked and on the plate.

        I also had black vanilla ice and that one was great. Coloured with activated charcoal, or something like that.

    By what method? Some sort of dye?

    It’s hard to imagine there being any demand for this aside from maybe playing a prank or some other sort of deception.

      Psychologically, my favorite choco bars are like the kinder egg chocolate or Aero White, i know its probably the cheapest shit but I think my brain codes it as the vanilla equivaent of chocolate even tho its cocoa butter or something. I wish vanilla could be a bar like chocolate, not just the taste but like actual vanilla, I wish it was like cacao or whatever

      Theres some loose malfunctioning wires when it comes to white + chocolate for me i guess

      For what its worth, I wish there were watermelon trees, too

    I suppose because not enough people like white chocolate.

    I say bring back other bark flavours that aren’t chocolate. I remember orange and raspberry (with no chocolate) but it seems like no one else does. Maybe I come from another timeline?

    Wouldn’t the equivalent be whiter white chocolate, or light white?

    And since dark chocolate is more cocoa, whiter white would just be more cocoa butter? I’m guessing someone tried it, it sucked, and therefore didn’t take off.
