Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 (3.5 oz) Dark Chocolate Bar (70% recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 teaspoons Chocolate Mint Seriously Delicious CBD
Crunch Component
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper to ensure easy removal of the set chocolate bars later.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring glass. Microwave on high for 60 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth with no lumps, typically an additional 20-30 seconds.
- Add Flavor and Mix: Stir in the peppermint extract and the Chocolate Mint Seriously Delicious CBD into the melted chocolate until fully combined. Then, fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring every piece is coated evenly with the chocolate mixture.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate and cereal mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out into an even layer. Note that a thicker layer will require more chilling time to set completely.
- Chill to Set: Place the sheet pan in the refrigerator and chill for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut or break the chocolate into pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended) for the best flavor and texture.
- The peppermint extract and CBD flavor can be adjusted to taste; start with less if you prefer a milder mint flavor.
- Make sure to stir the chocolate well between microwaving intervals to avoid burning or seizing.
- For a crunchier bar, use crispy rice cereal rather than puffed rice or regular rice cereal.
- Keep the bars refrigerated to maintain their firmness and prolong shelf life.
