This year, Jen and I decided to do something a little different for Christmas. Instead of spending hours in the mall or minutes at Amazon, we decided to give people something home made. Something that's yummy, something that says, "I like you."

Obviously, that something involved chocolate ;)

The gift turned out really well and everyone who's gotten one so far has loved it. Sadly, I can't get one to everyone in the world so I thought I'd post the recipe here.

Enjoy :)

--

lavender and white chocolate cocoa

2 12 oz bags of white chocolate

.02 ounces of lavender

1 tsp kosher salt

1 T sugar


Put the bags of chocolate in the freezer for at least three hours.

Put chocolate and lavender in the mixer. Shred everything to bits. Then hit the button again for fun.

Pour the ingredients into a big bowl. Add salt and sugar. Stir. A lot. Trust me, you don't want to be the one who ends up with all of the salt in your cocoa.

Heat milk. For every cup, add 4 T of delicious mix.

Pour into a cup.

Mmmm. Yummy chocolate goodness.
