Whether celebrating Valentine’s Day solo or in a socially distanced exile from your loved one, cannabis edibles have now expanded your chocolate choices on this day of indulgence.

Like all edibles, chocolates come either CBD-forward, offering pain relief and relaxation, or THC-based, with a head and body experience. We sent a wide variety of THC-based chocolates to the NEXT Cannabis Test Kitchens for rigorous taste and quality testing. Here are our best bets.

Editor’s Picks

2 Bytes chocolate truffle

Edison Bytes Chocolate Truffle

Dark or milk chocolate

(two-truffle pack)

A creamy ganache filling fuels these classic truffles. The dark could be mistaken for its less intense milk chocolate sibling; creamier than classic. The milk chocolate is smooth and dreamy.

Tweed Chowie Wowie chocolate

Tweed Chowie Wowie

(four square bar)

A rich, creamy classic milk chocolate taste makes this
one of the most popular edibles in Canada. It’s old school with a familiar, nice-and-easy milk chocolate taste – think Jersey Milk with a gentle jolt of THC. (Also available in dark.)

Fireside Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel

Fireside Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel

(two caramels pack)

An elegant taste treat that is not sold as a truffle, but should be. It has grown-up flavors with dark chocolate and coarse salt surrounding a killer caramel centre. It would be a chocolate-box star even without the THC. The slight cannabis flavour has an umami quality. (Also available without the filling, tasty, but why?)

Bhang the Chocolate Bars

Bhang the Chocolate Bars

Dark and milk chocolate

(four square bar)

These bars have an unadorned taste, neither rich nor creamy. The dark is reminiscent of a baker’s semi-dark brick, while the milk chocolate could have been broken off a chocolate Easter bunny.

Legend chocolate bars

Legend Milk Chocolate Bar or Orange Dark Chocolate Bar

(four square bar)

Mild milk chocolate flavour leaves room for cannabis taste to creep in; medium richness and creaminess.

The orange chocolate bar is a deliciously tart, classically bitter dark chocolate with a hint of orange that doesn’t overpower.

Goodship sea salt dark chocolate bar

Goodship Sea Salt Dark Chocolate

(four square bar)

A mild dark chocolate taste that fights with the salt to dominate this straightforward bar.
