Hmmm....


Possibly a bit technical for most of us here, but I'll help if I can! I know cocoa solids are what give chocolate its strength of taste and colour, and therefore white chocolate doesn't have any cocoa solids at all. It does however contain cocoa mass and cocoa butter.

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

There is a bit on the Cadbury's website about making chocolate. Unfortunately their learning section is being redeveloped so it's not available at the moment. But their customer services is quite helpful, I'm sure if you ask them for info they can help.
