  6. To make chocolate, cocoa beans are roasted and the shells are removed. Then the cocoa is ground, resulting in a thick liquid called chocolate liquor (it’s not alcoholic). This liquor is used to make unsweetened chocolate. For other chocolaty purposes, the liquor is pressed to extract the fat, which is called cocoa butter. With the fat removed, the liquor becomes a powder that is blended with the cocoa butter and other ingredients to make different kinds of chocolate. Plain chocolate is made of cocoa powder, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, and sugar. Milk chocolate, of course, has milk added. White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar. Because white chocolate has no cocoa solids from the chocolate liquor, the FDA doesn’t classify it as chocolate.
