Why Pair CBD and Chocolate?
Hemp-derived CBD paired with chocolate creates a double-dose of mood-boosting plant food. Chocolate is the world’s richest source of anandamide, known as “the bliss molecule.” This is part of the reason it feels so good to eat chocolate.
Scientific findings indicate that anandamide exerts positive effects on mood, memory, brain function, and pain sensation. Findings also show that a deficiency in anandamide is linked to stress-induced anxiety and depression.
When you pair chocolate with CBD-rich hemp extract, your body is better able to protect these bliss-molecules and promote a sense of overall wellness. As an added bonus, the healthy fats in chocolate have been shown to extend the duration of CBD’s effects, since CBD is fat-soluble.
Chocolate paired with hemp-derived CBD gives you a dose of plant-food for vitality.

Where has this chocolate been all my life?! Having a couple of squares really helps me out during that time of the month, but I have to be careful not to eat the entire bar at once. Great for those moments when I have ZERO chill left and need a little help to get back to baseline.

Holy wow. I get the hype. This CBD chocolate is a dream come true. There is no hempy or medicinal flavor. Just super creamy, rich dark chocolate with the perfect crispy bite from the popped quinoa. Very similar to the classic Crunch, but better for you! After eating 2 squares, I was feeling upbeat and also focused. Definitely effected my mood in a positive way.
