Characterized by its pale color and melt-in-your-mouth consistency, white chocolate is a baker's best friend. When chopped and incorporated into cookie and bar batters, this cocoa butter-based confection holds its shape after baking, offering pockets of sweetness to the finished dessert. Alternatively, white chocolate melts like a dream, making it an ideal flavoring agent for puddings, frostings, and other smooth sweets.
