'''White Chocolate''' is a [[food]] product which is derived from [[Chocolate]]. Unlike dark, semi-sweet (a.k.a. bitter-sweet), and milk chocolate, white chocolate does not actually contain any cocoa powder. Rather, cocoa butter is usually used (although vegetable fat can be used instead<ref>http://exhibits.mannlib.cornell.edu/chocolate/darkmilkwhite.php</ref>), along with milk solids and sugar. Because of this absence of cocoa, many do not even consider white chocolate to be chocolate.<ref>http://www.food.com/about/white-chocolate-225</ref>

==History==
There is some debate as to who created white chocolate, but its history goes back at least to the 1930s, when Nestlé began selling a white chocolate bar in Europe. This was primarily an attempt to use their excess, unused cocoa butter. Although this is the first commercial release of white chocolate, the actual inventor of the product remains unknown.<br />

In 1945, White chocolate came to the United States thanks to Kuno Baedeker.

==Regulations==
For some time, White Chocolate was not regulated. This tended to result in many cheap products with very little cocoa butter. However, there are now regulations in the U.S. which require:
*20% cocoa butter
*14% total milk solids
*3.5% milk fat
*no more than 55% sweetener<ref>http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?cfrpart=163&showfr=1&subpartnode=21:2.0.1.1.36.2</ref>
The European Union has also set in place the same basic rules, except they do not limit the sugar content.<ref>http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:32000L0036</ref>
