INTRODUCTION I have always found white chocolate to be my least favourite. To me it seems more "sweet" than dark or milk chocolate. There is undoubtedly a difference between the higher cocoa content of dark or even milk chocolate whereby the higher the cocoa the higher the price (usually). However, I have found personally that with white chocolate this is not the case. I decided to try this chocolate as my children wanted to make chocolate crispy cakes. PACKAGING & COST This chocolate comes in 100gram slab and is suitable for vegetarians. It costs around 35p from Sainsburys, Sainsbury Local and online at ...  Read the complete review

Not everyone is the greatest fan of white chocolate as it isn't really a proper chocolate as it only contains cocoa butter. I decided to buy the Sainsbury's Basics chocolate as I was a bit short of cash again this week. At 31p for a 100g bar, I couldn't pass on the offer. Each bar is 6 blocks long and 3 blocks wide, so 18 blocks in total. It comes in a plain white pack with the name of the product and a small picture on the front. On opening the wrapper, you are confronted with a chocolate bar that is off white in colour and has a slightly sweet smell. I didn't put mine in the fridge as I was quite hungry so I found that it broke quite easily. On ...  Read the complete review

Unlike it's darker relative, I find Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate a bit too sickly, especially if you are going to wolf the whole bar down. At 26p for a 100g bar it is obviously fantastic value, but I would be more inclined to spend a little bit extra and avoid Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate, especially if you are eating it on its own. I am a big fan of the Sainsbury's Basics Dark Chocolate but the White variety is just too sweet and sickly for me. For cooking purposes however, Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate is absolutely fantastic. I used a bar of it to make white chocolate meringues recently and they turned out really well (even though the ...  Read the complete review

I like cooking with my little sisters but the ingredients work out mega expensive sometimes. When I was in Sainsburys the other day I picked up a bar of Milky Bar to make some icing with for the fairy cakes we was going to make but then I looked down and saw that Sainsburys make their own bars of white chocolate in the Basics packaging. A 100g bar is only 27p so that's loads cheaper than the Milky Bar I was going to buy. Yeah, yeah, yeah it comes in crap packaging but who cares about stuff like that when you're saving a bomb??? At the end of the day I'm not mad keen on white chocolate ANYWAY so even the expensive ones taste cheap to me. The ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury Basics White Chocolate I buy this chocolate quite often, though I had never actually eaten it as a chocolate bar until last night. Ordinarily I use it as an ingredient for making chocolate chunk cookies as I find it tastes lovely in them. Last night I really fancied some chocolate but had nothing in the flat. I was contemplating baking a chocolate cake or at least making some cookie dough to eat when I stumbled across my stash of cookie making chocolate. I decided eating a bit of that was far easier than making cookie dough and I would get my sugar fix a lot quicker. The packaging is very simple, being a basics product, and ...  Read the complete review
