Vegan Lavender Chocolate Candy is simple to make, takes only a few minutes, and is delicious. Culinary lavender is available in most groceries now and this recipe is just a simple blend of coconut oil, cocoa powder, and sugar. It’s refrigerator chocolate and hardens up best when cooled.
These delectable lavender chocolates are ideally suited for colder weather because the coconut oil won’t melt as fast.
If you ever liked the Ice Cubes brand chocolate candies then you’ll love these just very slightly more sophisticated dairy-free vegan versions.
Lovely Lavender
Vegan Lavender Chocolate Candy is one way to use it, but Lavender is one of my all-time favorite herbs and versatile with a variety of uses.
We love visiting the Lavender Labyrinth in Shelby, MI, near Lake Michigan. It’s gigantic … and gorgeous. The labyrinth part is the outer rings with lavender. The center of it is intertwined herb beds. That’s actually where I picked up my bag of lavender I used here.
