I don't know if it is the coco in the dark chocolate or what, I don't like nor drink coco, so could it be the coco that I am allergic too?

It all depends on what is in chocolate that is causing the reaction. What kind of a reaction do you get - hives? If you really want to test & see if you can eat white chocolate the best bet is to talk with your doctor. Other than that, you can do what I do: wait about 2 weeks and avoid all foods during that time that cause allergy problems. Be ready with three items: your white chocolate, a dose of Benedryl (or like product) and a friend. Eat the chocolate, if you have a reaction take the Benedryl & it will help. Have your friend there in case it gets too bad so they can take you to the hospital emergency room. BEWARE: just because you don't react the first time doesn't mean that your body won't react on down the line sometime. Foods I have eaten for years without a problem will just suddenly cause massive hives all over my body. If you've ever had a problem breathing when you have an allergic reaction to ANYTHING - do NOT try this, go talk to a doctor or avoid the food completely.

There is no such thing as white chocolate, per se. It is NOT chocolate at all, but a mixture of fats, milk, and other ingredients. It has NO cocoa in it, thus it is not chocolate at all. They merely call it that for the sake of a name. Most people who are allergic to real chocolate (the coca bean) are allergic to both dark and milk chocolate.

It might well be the cocoa: White chocolate has slightly different ingredients from dark. I don't know if you can eat it or not. A doctor's test should be able to answer that with some degree of safety.

There's only way to find out: Test it on yourself. Maybe rub it on your skin first, then taste a little. White Chocolate is the natural fat from the cacao bean with the cocoa removed. Maybe it's the cocoa that affects you. Not enough is known yet.
