Are White Almond Bark and White Chocolate the same thing?

No. White Almond Bark is made with vegetable fats, sugar, milk solids and flavorings. As a matter of fact, almond bark can also be chocolate flavored and brown. Almond Bark has a chocolate-like consistency and is often used like white chocolate, as a candy coating for nuts, cookies, pretzels and other treats. It's a sort of faux white chocolate as it contains no cocoa butter. Almond Bark is much less expensive than white chocolate. Which is why it was on hand in my pantry for a quick recipe throw together.

What is White Chocolate?

White Chocolate is an actual confectionery (candy) made with cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids. Cocoa butter is the fat extracted from cocoa beans. So even though, white chocolate contains no cacao, it still contains elements of actual cocoa beans. If the label doesn't have cocoa butter as an ingredient, it's not real white chocolate. The quality of white chocolate is in direct proportion to the amount of cocoa butter it contains. The more cocoa butter, the easier white chocolate is to temper. And the smoother the candy or treats that can be created with it.

Can I Freeze White Chocolate No Bake Cookies?

Yes. Once they are cooled and hardened, White Chocolate No Bake Cookies can also be frozen. Put them in a sealed zip-top bag with all the excess air removed. I like to slip that bag into a second one and seal that up as well. No chance of moisture or condensation getting into a double bag!
