Chocolate Olive Oil Lollipops

Adina St. John creates small batch confections out of The Blu Kitchen about 20 minutes down the road from us here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For these lollipops, she mixes cocoa powder with locally roasted organic coffee to deepen the chocolate flavor, plus a pinch of sea salt for balance. The real secret ingredient is Zingerman’s Peranzana extra virgin olive oil, which adds a rich, silky texture. The result tastes like a decadent brownie in candy form, and is truly a handheld delight worth savoring.

I have a personal stash in my car and my desk for those moments I need a little something sweet. Perfect for sweet-toothed adults and kids alike.
