What exactly is white chocolate?

Question: What exactly is white chocolate?
Answer: So what makes white chocolate different from the rich, brown version we all know and love? It's all in the cocoa, or lack of it. White chocolate is made with milk, sugar and cocoa butter, but there are no actual cocoa solids (also called cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor). So technically, white chocolate is not really chocolate at all.
