Valentines Day brings thoughts of bouquets of flowers, special dinners and candy.  Chocolate candy is nostalgic candy to say the least.  Which is the more nostalgic candy, white, milk, or dark chocolate?

White chocolate is produced with sugar, milk solids, and cocoa butter. It was created in 1956 by Mars Inc.  By law, since 2004, white chocolate can only be labeled as such if it contains 20% cocoa butter and 14% milk solids.

Milk chocolate, on the other hand, is produced mainly from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree.  This nostalgic candy’s earliest recorded use is by the Mayans circa 1100 B.C. in South America. It contains 10% cocoa butter and 12% milk solids.

We also have dark chocolate.  What is the difference between milk and dark? Where milk chocolate contains 10% cocoa butter and 12% milk solids, and white chocolate contains 20% and 14% respectively, dark chocolate contains the usual 12% milk solids, but a huge amount (35%) of cocoa butter. 

Which is the most popular nostalgic candy? It may come as a surprise. One survey of ten women from Baby University breaks it down like this:

The third most popular is actually a tie between white and milk with two votes each.  The most popular is dark with a vote of three. There was one person allergic to all chocolates and two women that do not like it in any form.
