What would you do with chocolate olive oil?

Purchased from Queen Creek Olive Mill in Arizona (if you're interested, google the phrase and you'll find it). It's got the exact same nutritional stats as regular extra virgin olive oil, but it's a blend of olive and cocoa bean oils. Out of the bottle, it smells like a liquid Tootsie Roll... absolutely amazing.

I couldn't resist the novelty, but I'm stumped over what to do with it. So far, all I've done is toss almonds in it and roast them. Since I burned them, they taste more like... well, something other than chocolate, but they're incredibly satisfying anyway. :D

So what would you do?

    Off the top of my head.... Use it in cupcakes, muffins and other baking where chocolate might be appropriate. Sautéing fruit in it and serving with ice cream might be another idea. Use it instead of melted butter in desserts.

    Oh my...it sounds dangerous to have LOL
    hmmm I am wondering if you could use it as a dressing for fruits - like a fruit salad with a twist
    Any dessert that calls for oil (while I usually substitute apple sauce) - you could maybe use that one instead for enhanced flavor

    Sounds delicious! I would probably make this....not too diet friendly...but one slice couldn't do that much damage...could it?
