White chocolate is a sweetened, creamy confection made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. Its flavor is similar to regular chocolate, but it does not contain cocoa solids or caffeine, making it milder and sweeter. It is typically used as an ingredient in desserts and snack foods, or as a decorative coating. White chocolate should not be confused with white candy melts or confectionary coating, which is a mixture of cocoa butter, vegetable oil, and sugar.
