Floral chocolate

Would you like a bar of Carnation chocolate?

Edible flowers are appearing in more and more recipes lately, but this Carnation and Orange Milk Chocolate bar from Artisan du Chocolat really caught our eye.

How it's made

The carnation flowers are made into a very concentrated water distillate in a similar process that takes place when making perfume. An exotic flavour is added to the chocolate by the flower flavour with a slight bitterness that is well balanced by the orange in the bar. This can only be done with special edible flowers so don't try this at home!
