Yes, white chocolate is made from cacao, but it’s a bit different from regular chocolate. You see, chocolate comes from cacao beans, which are seeds from cacao pods. White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, which is the fat extracted from cacao beans. They remove the dark cacao solids and mix the cocoa butter with milk and sugar to make white chocolate. I remember the first time I learned about this. It was like a little chocolate adventure! So, yes, white chocolate does have a connection to cacao, just in a different way than dark or milk chocolate.
