Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chocolate mixture
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark) Pick good-quality chips for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil Helps the chocolate set with a glossy finish.
Flavoring
  • 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender Use culinary-grade lavender only.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional) Brightens the floral note if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir.
  2. Continue melting chocolate in 15–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the finely crushed dried lavender and sugar, if using. Taste to check balance.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the sheet and spread into a thin layer (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick).
  5. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until completely firm.
  6. Break the slab into irregular pieces or chop into small chip-like bits.
Storage
  1. Store lavender chocolate chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
  2. For long-term storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator.

Notes

You can swap coconut oil for neutral vegetable oil or use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option. For even more intense floral flavor, make lavender sugar by pulsing lavender with sugar and using that.
