Combining CBD with chocolate isn't just about taste—it's actually scientifically smart.

Why Chocolate? (The Fat Factor)

Cannabinoids (like CBD) are lipophilic, meaning they bind to fat. Chocolate, especially dark chocolate with cocoa butter, is naturally high in healthy fats.

  • Benefit: The fats protect the CBD during digestion and help carry it into your cells.
  • Result: Potentially better absorption compared to pure sugar gummies.

How to Dose

Most CBD chocolate bars are scored into squares.

  1. Read the Label: Check if the dosage listed is per bar or per square.
  2. Example: A 240mg bar with 12 squares = 20mg per square.
  3. Start: Eat one square (or half) and wait 90 minutes.

Artisan Quality

Cheap edibles use "spray-on" methods. High-quality chocolates infuse the CBD extract directly into the chocolate liquor during tempering, ensuring every square has an equal dose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does chocolate caffeine interact with CBD?

The amount of caffeine in a square of dark chocolate is very low, but some people find the combination provides a "focused alert" feeling rather than just sedation.

Should I keep them in the fridge?

Cool, dark storage is best. If they melt, the CBD is still there, but the texture might change (bloom).
