For my money "white chocolate" is chocolate only by courtesy. It's
made with cocoa butter not the real chocolatey stuff. Here's one that
is called "fudge" without any sort opf cocoa or chocolate in sight.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Microwave Divinity Fudge
Categories: Candy, Nuts
     Yield: 30 pieces

     2 lg Egg whites
 2 1/4 c  Sugar
   1/2 c  Water
   1/2 c  Light corn syrup
   1/8 ts Salt
   1/2 c  Chopped pecans
 1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract

 Place egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand
 mixer; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

 In a microwave-safe 2 qt. bowl, combine the sugar,
 water, corn syrup and salt. Microwave, uncovered, on
 high for 4 minutes; stir until sugar is dissolved. Cook
 6-8 minutes longer or until a candy thermometer reads
 260ºF/127ºC (hard-ball stage), stirring every 2 minutes.
 Just before the temperature is reached, beat egg whites
 on medium speed until stiff peaks form.

 With mixer running on high speed, carefully pour hot
 syrup in a slow, steady stream into the bowl. Beat just
 until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape, 15-20
 minutes. Immediately stir in pecans and vanilla. (Do not
 overmix, or candy will get stiff and crumbly.)

 Working quickly, drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed
 paper. Let stand at room temperature overnight or until
 dry to the touch. Store in an airtight container at room
 temperature.
