Ingredients

1 pound semisweet dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 3-inch pieces of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Freshly grated zest of 2 limes, or more if desired
1 tablespoon honey
4 tablespoons salted butter, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups candied ginger, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon matcha, more to taste (Japanese green tea powder)

Steps:

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Meanwhile, in a small pan, simmer the oil, chopped ginger, lime zest and honey for 2 to 3 minutes and then strain, pressing the ginger to remove any excess liquid. Stir the butter into the melted chocolate, followed by the honey mixture. Fold in the candied ginger and spread on a foil-lined 9-by-11-inch tray. Refrigerate until it hardens. Break up the bar and sprinkle with green tea powder. Serve chilled.
