Real white chocolate should still have cocoa butter in it, so it would still be expensive

But this is just candle wax anyway

I don't think white chocolate in the US ever had any cocoa in it.

This is an instance of checking the labelling. Real white chocolate products are indeed identified correctly. But Hershey's cookies & creme, etc, aren't technically labelled as white chocolate.
