I dunno, then. There are additives than can make chocolate more brittle.
AFAIK, white chocolate is nothing more than cocoa butter, sugar,
butterfat, milk solids, lecithin and flavorings. Who know what they
might add for an effect. Regardless of quality, I've never thought white
chocolate had much of a taste, much less the taste of chocolate. Its
very blandness is ideal for other flavors.
