Creme de Cacao is a chocolate flavored liqueur. ;Mostly made from a brandy base these liqueurs are flavored with chocolate and then sugar is added. Creme de cacao comes in dark and clear colors, respectively called white or dark. Creme de cacao is more an additive to cocktails than a stand alone drink.Even though there are cocktails that use creme de cacao as th dominant alcohol. Always use the white unless you need to make use of the brown color. If you tried to make a Girl Scout Cookie shooter with the dark the color would, not be a lively green, but a muddy greenish brown. Chocolate liqueurs are considered something different, however they are basically the same but usually a higher quality.
