Types of Chocolate




Chocolate liquor (smooth liquid chocolate) is blended in different quantities with cocoa butter to make different types of chocolate. The blends of ingredients showing the highest chocolate quantity first are:

  1. Plain dark chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, and sometimes vanilla
  2. Milk chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, milk or powdered milk and vanilla
  3. White chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, milk or powdered milk and vanilla
Notice that only white chocolate has no cocoa liquor in it. The only ingredient that is actually from the cacao bean in white chocolate is the fat or cocoa butter which has a very distinct flavor.
