- Peppermint: The perfect match for dark chocolate, peppermint essential oil adds a fresh, cooling flavor to your homemade treats.
- Orange: Bright, zesty, and cheerful, orange essential oil works wonders with both milk and dark chocolate to create a tangy, citrus-infused delight.
- Lavender: The floral notes of lavender essential oil paired with white or dark chocolate create a delicate, fragrant experience that’s perfect for relaxation.
