Anyone have a tried and true recipe for making white chocolate from
cocoa butter? Yes, yes, I know, "why don't you just Google for it, you
idiot?", but I'd like to see a recipe that someone here has actually
made, and who liked it. Thanks.

For some reason, I thought white chocolate didn't have cocoa butter....

Instead, it is flavored with vanilla. You have zero credibility using the
word, "Grease," since you don't fry.

Vanilla is one of my favorite flavors, but I think white chocolate is
horrid stuff. Vanilla grease?

White chocolate is rarely used by itself. Even Lindt, which makes the
best wht choco, IMO, uses an equally wht almond paste in it's
offerings so there is a very tasty component to their wht choco. I also
see wht choco chunks in cookies, but it's usually with a lotta nuts
(often macadamia) to provide texture and in a dark choco dough for flavor.

White chocolate flavor varies by brand and even by type within brand. Yes, the big companies that supply wholesale chocolate to smaller companies will have several different types of white chocolate. Believe me, they taste different, they also have different tempering and viscosity characteristics depending on what you are trying to do with it. Folks making 10,000 truffles a day on big production machinery are more concerned with the viscosity, etc. than flavor.

My wife uses Peter's white chocolate because it tastes better. Most of her other chocolate is one type of Wilbur or another. Though both Peter's and Wilbur are the same company these days.

Says the man who went from an incestuous homosexual relationship with
his brother to enlist in the Navy, which of all the armed services is
known for buggery.

One thing folks are curious about though, did you spit or did you
swallow?

Do you want the end product to eat as a candy? Or so you want to
incorporate it into a recipe? I ask because if it's the latter, you
don't have to make the chocolate. You can just use the ingredients.

I had in mind eating it as a candy, and also for using in things like
macadamia nut cookies, where I would use it as small chunks.

Flavorwise, eating white chocolate is just as thrilling as eating
paper. Better texture, though.

Ah. So you actually do have to make it.

I'm happy eating most white chocolate but it has nothing chocolate
about it, nutritionally it's like eating butter.
