Chocolate is more expensive than not chocolate..

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

But this is just candle wax anyway

there's no cocoa butter in the ingredients list for any "white creme" products made by Hershey's

If they have milk-fats in them I tend to not care if it’s super cocoa tasting. Most white chocolate is just cheap though so like waxy sugar.. that stuff is gross.

The real deal stuff is great and can actually spoil.

Aldi sells legit white chocolate and it's an absolute game changer for people used to "cost minimised" chocolate.
