Who knew that white chocolate isn't really chocolate?

http://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/tools-test-kitchen/article/white-chocolate

From the link: "White chocolate is made with a blend of sugar, cocoa butter, milk products, vanilla, and a fatty substance called lecithin. Technically, white chocolate is not a chocolate—and it doesn’t really taste like one—because it doesn’t contain chocolate solids."

Make one of the hot ones when a blizzard hits this winter. Martha Stewart's white-chocolate hot cocoa with coconut and rum, maybe?

What a perfect day! White chocolate is one of my favorite things. Love white chocolate-macadamia nut cookies, and white chocolate bark with fresh raspberries. In fact I just made some white chocolate and raspberry scones for breakfast. Yum!

For a long time, white chocolate was the only chocolate I would eat.

When Reese's came out with the White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, I was in heaven!

I just purchased a dozen white chocolate/macadamia nut cookies on the weekend. Love them and didn't feel like baking my own. I think I'm going to make myself a cup of Italian coffee and have one or two since I didn't have dessert for dinner. So I will honor National WC Day.

Jules, it's great to see you posting. Just to let you know we finally got a new puppy on 9-11. He's a Southern gentleman from Virginia so it was a six plus hour drive for us from Pennsylvania. Alfie is a gray brindle cairn terrier (breeder says he will turn darker gray or black) and his personality and demeanor is much like Brodie's. In fact, so much so that DH often calls him "Brodie's ghost." Right now he's an amazing 11 lb. bundle of joy. His name is (Kennel name) What's it all about, Alfie. Remember the song written by Burt Bacharach? Alfie and Anika are getting along very well; no growling or showing of teeth from either one. That's so nice.

Anika, the store was out of White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, so please have an extra cookie for me!

What is Italian Coffee?

Hi sweet Anika and thank you. Congratulations on your new little boy, he sounds adorable. Puppies are so wonderful and healing, I don't know how I would have managed without my Mia. I'm sure Brodie is looking down on Alfie and smiling that he is in such a loving home. Wish we were closer, we could visit over white chocolate-macadamia cookies.

HonnyBrown, I have a Mr. Coffee brand coffeemaker that uses Keurig K-cups. One of my favorites is Tully's Italian Roast. If you like dark roast, extra bold coffee, I'm sure you'd love Italian. I'm drinking my coffee and eating my white chocolate-macadamia nut cookies as I type. Yummy! ...

Jules, ... Thanks so much for responding. I tell Alfie every day how much we loved Brodie, his predecessor and how much he is like him in behavior and personality. Alfie has some big paws to fill and he's doing nicely in that department, and he continues to heal our hurting hearts day by day. Brodie sent Alfie to us at just the perfect time.

I, too, wish we were closer. I'm certain we would enjoy each other's company ... and cookies ... and would have lots to talk about.

That's the exact coffee I was thinking of.

I'm glad you enjoyed your coffee and cookies and caught up with a friend!
