Cook’s Tip: Lecithin is a product often sold as a nutritional supplement that
acts as an emulsifier in candy, keeping the butter and sugar from separating.
This next winter-appropriate mix would be appreciated
by anyone who likes chocolate. It could be packaged
in a bag presented inside a large mug for a gift that
is practical and delicious.
