Where was the Toblerone White Chocolate? I've had a lot of white chocolates in my life and the Toblerone is one of the best. Or are we just limiting to white chocolate "chip"?
Is it possible that Jack was separated at birth with Angel Di Maria on the Argentina World Cup team?
I use Ghirardelli’s chocolate and cocoa powder for baking. It’s the best!
Nice review… you talked about the difference between the Barks… I'd love to see you make some that snap!
Imma go out and purchase a bag of that stuff
The first time I ate white chocolate was when I ate the Hersey's Cookies & Cream bar for the first time; I was six at the time.
Thank you so much for this review. I'll have to try the Callebrut. I dislike every "white candy" that pretends to be chocolate. It's always just a chunk of nasty "way too sweet" for me. This taste testing clearly explains why. Thank you.
When anything calls itself white chocolate – it should ALWAYS have a chocolate flavor. I grew up eating chocolate my Grandparents would send from Europe each Christmas – Belgian, Swiss and German chocolate. So I am picky.
Though I've not been recently, I've only ever had actual delicious white chocolate from one source beginning 50 years ago. The Smoky Mountain Candy Kitchen in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It's a major "tourist trap" town. However, if you are there and you love chocolate I highly recommend you try it. It will never replace dark chocolate for me, but it has a unique flavor, a creamy texture and definitely deserves to call itself chocolate. Or – maybe they have online ordering – hadn't thought of that til now….hmmm…….need to check……
I always use the Ghirardelli’s white chocolate bar with the white baking chips…makes my white chocolate icing brighter as opposed to the off-white color in the bar.
Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" I heard this from someone.
Ghirardelli knows chocolate. Be sure to have their sundaes at Disney Springs which are uh-mazing! 🤤
I think Guittard is better quality than Ghirardelli but I buy both brands
I would have liked to see Lillys included in the test.
My granddaughter is allergic to chocolate. I’d there a white chocolate that she could use in cooking that she could tolerate
when white people are experts at chocolate and the best isnt even chocolate.
I absolutely love white chocolate. I don't make candy or cookies with it though, I just eat it. Callebaut is great, but even better imho is Daskalides, which I think is also Belgian or maybe French. Even Nestle Galak is pretty good for the money, and easier to find in America.
Ew No white chocolate please
So, wait, the winner of the “white chocolate” taste test turns out not to be white chocolate?

White chocolate is a lie don’t believe them
White chocolate: a big no. It tastes like wax.
there is nothing good about white chocolate. it can barely even be called chocolate.
Sorry Jack, after your disastrous "scales" segment recently, you put a pin in your credibility ballon.
Mmmm a review of one of my favorite things.
What's with the creeper in the background @3:23?
White chocolate makes me poo poo
the best "white chocolate" is not white chocolate. Checks out.
One format recommendation is to identify each option via letter instead of number because viewers can easily get lost while hearing how they rank against one another.
Thank you for the information.
I don't use it for candy so don't really care about the snap. I tend to bake with the Callebrut because it tastes great and integrates really well both in cookies and things like blondies.
Hello
Agreed. Ghirardelli is worth the price!
Ghirardelli is just a solid chocolate brand. The 60% are my favorite chocolate chips.
Thank you for sharing this!
I'd like to see what you think about almond bark and chocolate bark.
A true opinion about fake candy coatings and is there a best one out there.
Buckeyes are my quest but, most brands of bark leave the mouth feel like eating crisco.🤢
My friend and I saw Jack at Williams Sonoma in Kansas City some years ago. We got to participate in a taste test for white chocolate. Ghirardelli was the winner then as well. I have purchased no other white chocolate since. We loved seeing Jack and having him sign our cookbooks.
I clicked because I thought this was Maury Povich 😂
