Even most of the world famous chocolate companies such as Nestlé, twix and Mondelez, even use most of the ingredients as white chocolate. The reason is because the cocoa beans which are used to make the traditional chocolate we know today, were too expensive. So instead chocolate factories made cheap affordable chocolate which uses some similar ingredients as white chocolate.
