White chocolate is milk chocolate's sweeter and arguably even more delicious cousin. A favourite of the truly sweet-toothed, it doesn't contain any cocoa solids, just cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. As such, it can be hard to find a balanced, high-quality bar of this saccharine snack, especially when deciding between Cadbury's, Milkybar, Lindt and Green & Blacks - enter mybest!
We've sought out the 10 best examples you can buy and ranked them by ingredients, flavour, and value for money. Whether you're looking for a UK-made bar, something vegan or organic, or one that's perfect for melting or baking with — we've got you covered with offerings available from Amazon, Tesco, and ASDA. We've also partnered with Nutritionist Tara Corbett to review and fact-check the article so that we can deliver the best information.

If you prefer a straight-up, traditional white chocolate bar with nothing added, we can't blame you! However, if you're looking for a touch of extra flavour — another dreamy blend to try out is white chocolate and vanilla, particularly Madagascan, which tastes seriously luxurious without straying too far from the classic version.
One particular combination that works really well is white chocolate with berries, such as strawberries or raspberries. Their subtle tangy flavour complements the signature sweetness of white chocolate perfectly, so they're a good pick if you're looking for a more grown-up but still exciting taste.
We have a couple of fruity white chocolate options on our top ten list, so look out for them if this flavour combo tickles your fancy. Just remember that, sadly, they do not count as one of your 5-a-day!
Look for white chocolate bars with added nuts if you want a slightly bitter and crunchy contrast to the richness of white chocolate. Almonds and peanuts are particularly popular, and become crispy when roasted, complimenting the sugary taste to perfection. However, make sure you keep nut allergies in mind when buying for guests or as a present.

Another brilliant way to enjoy the sweetness of white chocolate is to seek out alternative versions of your milk (or dark) chocolate convenience store favourites. That way, you can have all the texture and taste you usually choose, but with a creamy layer of white chocolate poured over the top. You can thank us later!
We are advised to eat no more than 20-30 grams of saturated fat per day. As you will notice, many of the chocolate bars on our list contain almost this amount per 100 g, so do your best to enjoy these creamy snacks as an occasional treat and share them with family or pals if you can.
When it comes to sugar, 30 g per day is the maximum amount recommended by the NHS. If you are health conscious or trying to lose weight, it's best to keep your refined sugar intake as low as possible. Take a look at the section in our spec tables for the 4-1-1 on exactly how much of the white stuff is in each bar.
No added sugar chocolate is an excellent pick if you are diabetic or generally worried about a blood-sugar spike and the inevitable slump. No added sugar chocolate often uses sweeteners like maltitol (also sometimes called xylitol) —a sugar alcohol (a type of carbohydrate) found in fruits and vegetables deemed safe to eat by the NHS.
There are also some lovely vegan chocolates on the market, which use zero dairy but still manage to capture the sweet, creamy taste we sugar lovers crave. You may also want to check the label to find a gluten-free or organic option that aligns with your lifestyle.

If you want your chocolate to be ethical, we all know to look out for the Fairtrade symbol, which promises to pay growers a minimum price for their work and produce. Cadbury's work with Cocoa Life to source more sustainable cocoa, and Nestlé work with Cocoa Plan — which isn't exactly going above and beyond, but at least provide some protections and a baseline price.
When it comes to finding an ethically made bar, it's better to look beyond the Fairtrade label and go for the ethical brands that go above and beyond. Brands like Tony’s Chocolonely and Divine purport do big things like eradicating slavery — by having a visible supply chain and building cooperatives for producers to get a share in profits.
Also, more and more of us are now making an effort to support local UK businesses, so check our specification tables to see whether the white chocolate that catches your eye was produced close to home.

Divine by name, divine by nature. We really like this product as — like all Divine chocolate — it is lovingly made from cocoa grown in Ghana, where farmers are part of a cooperative and have shares in its profits.
Our favourite choice on the list, this white chocolate option, has strawberries stirred through the mix, giving a subtle bite to counteract the creamy sweetness. Beautiful packaging aside, this ethical treat is good to buy and gorgeous to eat!
The best bit about this sumptuous and creamy white chocolate bar is that it uses exclusively organic and Fairtrade ingredients. On top of that, it contains 30% cocoa, giving it a sophisticated flavour that will have you reaching for more.
Green and Black's are known for their exceptional standards of production and taste. So grab a bar of this glorious choc infused with Madagascan vanilla for a decadent taste sensation. You deserve it!
Looking for an organic, dairy-free white chocolate? Well, it's your lucky day. This almond-laced bar is as tasty as it is kind to animals and the planet. Sometimes dairy-free desserts can feel slightly lacking, but this is one of the nation's go-to choices for cruelty-free sweetness.
If you need to avoid gluten, this bar ticks that box too, and the nutty twang of the almonds offsets the sweetness of the chocolate itself. This three-pack can be savoured over a week or handed out to some very lucky mates.
Tony's Chocolonely certainly has the branding, but does it walk the flavour walk? The answer is a resounding yes. This particular version not only uses white chocolate instead of milk or dark but is also mixed with a raspberry flavour blend and filled with popping candy!
It's a bit more expensive than others on our list but well worth the stretch because it's also more exciting than most options. Created in the Netherlands from Belgian chocolate, this bar is made using fairly traded ingredients and has that satisfying snap and bite you need from good chocolate.
This supremely creamy and, let's face it, totally iconic white chocolate bar makes our list because it's just so darned delicious. Milk is the number one ingredient here, and while we don't claim this product has healthful credentials, it sure is scrummy.
Ideal broken into cookie dough for lingering melted mouthfuls of cream, Milkybar is popular because it's that corner shop favourite we all remember from childhood, with no real competition as an after-school white chocolate treat. Snap off a square and share with a friend.
If normal Toblerone wasn't sweet enough, we present for your consideration: white Toblerone! Snap off a triangle, sit back, and imagine an Alpine backdrop as the honey-drizzled piece tingles on your tongue. And if the taste wasn't swinging it, the saturated fat per 100 g is relatively low.
Much like most of our picks on this list, a bar of Toblerone makes an excellent token present. So if you're stuck for ideas on what to give the leading sweet-toothed person in your life, this could be the answer.
From Lindt's master chocolatier comes this wondrous bar of white chocolate wickedness with a touch of Madagascan vanilla. This bar is totally fine for nibbling on the sofa in our book but will also blend beautifully into brownie batter or grated on top of ice cream.
Lindt is a top-quality brand widely noted for their superior tasting chocs, which we put down to the fact its recipe was finessed by Swiss chocolatiers using the very best ingredients. Online reviewers refer to its 'melt-in-the-mouth' quality and irresistible sweetness — but don't ask them, see for yourself!
Have you ever tried a white Snickers? You must! And if you're nice, you can share this limited edition pack with lucky family members and friends. The rich sweetness of the white chocolate goes beautifully with the crunchy peanuts and chewy nougat.
Ethics and diet-wise, a Snickers, unfortunately, doesn't tick many boxes, so you'll have to consider this purchase a serious treat. A snickers cake or fried white Snickers with bananas are just two recipe ideas we love, but if you become addicted, don't blame us!
There's nothing quite like the sensation of biting into a block of Cadbury's, and their white chocolate version is equally chunky and moreish! It's pure, classic white chocolate, with no fancy added flavours, made right here in the UK.
This bar was made by Cadbury's in partnership with Cocoa Life and Fairtrade Foundation to help improve conditions for the farmers and their communities. It isn't quite as ethical as some brands, but it is a start — and this hefty bar is affordable and ideal for enjoying with friends.
This no-added-sugar white chocolate is an excellent pick for low-sugar diets as it uses naturally sourced sweeteners to give your sugar fix with half the guilt. It's also certified gluten-free without lacking taste or texture.
As well as a touch of vanilla, the addition of strawberries is a fruity bonus. Although this product wins on taste and for its low sugar credentials, it isn't fairly traded and may even have a laxative effect when eaten in excess!
What's better than a bar of white chocolate? A white chocolate cheesecake! Here's a simple recipe from BBC Good Food that uses simple ingredients you probably already have in the cupboard or fridge. You can customise it by getting creative with add-ons, too.
White chocolate contains cocoa butter which is harmful to dogs but not toxic. It does, however, contain a small amount of theobromine which is toxic. That said, vets have confirmed that it is highly unlikely to poison a dog as it's such a small amount.
Technically, white chocolate isn't actually chocolate as we know it, as it doesn't contain any cocoa particles. It does, however, contain cocoa butter, which is often mixed with plenty of sugar and vanilla.
