Unsweetened Chocolate
Pure chocolate liquor ground from roasted cacao beans and solidified in block shaped molds. Not intended to be eaten on its own - but very handy for cooking. Combine unsweetened chocolate with sugar and butter, milk or cream in recipes to get that distinctive chocolate flavor. Unsweetened Chocolate is also refered to as bitter chocolate.
White Chocolate
Good white chocolate is made with pure cocoa butter and sugar, powdered milk and sometimes vanilla. The only thing missing is the cocoa liquor. But be careful and read labels - there is lots of white junk being sold that is not made with pure cocoa - instead coconut oil or vegetable oil are used. These can taste just fine - but shouldn?t be called white chocolate!
