When we crave chocolate, rarely do our minds first go to white chocolate. Why is that? I think many of us simply do not know how to use it in our cooking and dessert creations as creatively as we know how to use milk or dark chocolate. That all ends today though because we are going to be checking out and learning about some incredible ways to use white chocolate in our day to day desserts that will not only inspire us to bake differently, but also to surprise our guests more often with unpredictable desserts. From Fudge to Cupcakes, we have all the recipes that will put our traditional classics to shame.
Do I even need to explain why this is a good idea? Don’t let the idea of regular chocolate go completely with this scrumptious recipe. A little bit of everything is in this fudge so you don’t have to make the decision between chocolate and white chocolate and peanut butter. You can enjoy them in a beautiful, harmonic symphony of flavors.

YUM. These brownies are anything but the color brown! White-ies maybe? Either way, this dessert is so memorable because of it’s versatile nature. Crumble it up and add it to some chocolate ice cream, or serve all on it’s own. You can also add this to a milkshake to add more flavor!

Mmmm, I can’t wait to try out this recipe. The shaved candy canes on top remind me of a light snowfall. Much like raspberry, peppermint can be a strong flavor but when paired with white chocolate, it’s simply perfect.
