We've got a ton of holiday chocolate lying around the house. Through no fault of the considerate chocolate-givers, some of it is white chocolate. Which, I feel compelled to point out, is gross. It's just cocoa butter and sugar, people. The white chocolate bon-bons are particularly horrifying: fat and sugar flavored with fake butter. Ugh.

On the other hand, those little Ghirardelli squares? Pretty great. And I'm not quite sure how Cadbury defeated his snobby continental artisan peers, but god damn if the English haven't got a solid lock on milk chocolate technology.
