Per 100 g of product. Δ = White Chocolate minus Chocolate Powder 50%. Verified against independent food-science sources on each ingredient page.
The difference that matters
White Chocolate has the higher anti-freezing power (PAC 59 vs 51), so swapping toward it makes the mix softer and lowers the serving temperature; trim other high-PAC sugars if you want the same scoop hardness. White Chocolate carries more fat (32% vs 26%), giving a richer, warmer mouthfeel but demanding you cut other fats to stay in range.
