White Chocolate

It really isn’t chocolate;
At least that’s what I’ve read,
But rather a derivative,
Resembling it instead.

A mix of butter, sugar, milk,
Vanilla extract, salt;
Some people wouldn’t choose it
Except maybe by default.

But surely there are others
Who, like me, just like the taste,
Although, above dark bittersweet,
It never will be placed.

Still, there are some occasions
When I yearn for something sweet
And a bit of ivory chocolate
Is what I most want to eat.

Quality white chocolate is real chocolate. It is made out of cocoa butter, which is white, and no other fat.

I've always loved white chocolate and have it often, though the darker varieties of chocolate are healthier, they say. And a white chocolate mousse or cheesecake with a raspberry sauce is to die for. Hope you're better. / M

A nice piece of faux chocolate but a great substitute for those who hate chocolate or a change of pace. Enjoyed!

mmm what a tasty poem, I love our British 'milky bar' which I used to enjoy as a child but i think plain dark chocolate has to be my favourite. hope you are feeling better now Ilene:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you, Jan! I agree that dark chocolate is superior but once in a while I'm in the mood for a "milky bar." I'm not 100% but I'm definitely getting better. Thanks for your concern...
