🍫 White Chocolate
What it is: Made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids — no cocoa solids, so it’s not technically “chocolate” in the strict sense.
Pros:
- Sweeter & creamier taste, appealing to people who don’t like bitterness.
- Kid-friendly because it’s mild and smooth.
- Good for decoration (melts easily and has a neutral base for colors/flavors).
Cons:
- Lacks antioxidants and health benefits of real cocoa.
- High in sugar and fat, so less healthy.
- Can be too sweet for some adults.
🍫 Dark Chocolate
What it is: Contains cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar — higher cocoa percentage means richer flavor and more health perks.
Pros:
- Rich flavor with natural bitterness and complexity.
- Healthier — contains antioxidants (flavonoids), can support heart health in moderation.
- Lower sugar (especially 70%+ cocoa varieties).
- Pairs well with coffee, wine, and many desserts.
Cons:
- Bitterness may not suit everyone.
- Can feel dry or intense if not used to it.
✅ If health is the priority → Dark chocolate wins.
✅ If sweetness and creaminess matter most → White chocolate wins.
✅ For baking → Dark is better for flavor depth; white is for creamy or decorative touches.
