White chocolate is made with various amounts of cocoa butter. White chips (sometimes called white morsels) have no cocoa butter at all.
The white chips and perhaps also white chocolate may be purchased from your regular grocery store.
The Amish often, although not always, use the Blommer Kreemy White Chocolate obtained in 10# blocks or 50# cases. It is the white chocolate I generally use for making truffles. A distributor is mentioned in Appendix — Candy Supplies.
Any white chocolate or white chips can be used. Just realize that the quality of the white chocolate can make a lot of difference in taste.
Milk chocolate, too, is made with various amounts of cocoa butter. And quality varies. As does taste.
Although the recipes in this book call for milk chocolate, other kinds of chocolate may be used. As an example, chocolate baking chips/morsels (that can be purchased from a regular grocery store) may be used. Or dark chocolate.
For milk chocolate, the Amish generally use Blommer Kinzie Milk Chocolate obtained in 10# blocks or 50# cases. It is what I like to use. A distributor is mentioned in Appendix — Candy Supplies.
