Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 (3.5oz) Dark Chocolate Bar (70% recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 teaspoons Chocolate Mint Seriously Delicious CBD
Add-in
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper, ensuring an even surface for spreading the chocolate mixture.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is smooth and free of lumps, typically 20-30 seconds more.
- Add Flavor and CBD: Stir in the peppermint extract and the 4 teaspoons of Chocolate Mint Seriously Delicious CBD thoroughly to combine with the melted chocolate.
- Mix in Cereal: Gently fold in the 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal, ensuring every piece is well coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it into an even layer. Remember that a thicker layer will take longer to set.
- Chill to Set: Place the sheet pan in the refrigerator and chill for 10-15 minutes, until the bars are firm and set.
- Cut and Store: Use a sharp knife to break or cut the chocolate mint bars into pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For best results, use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content to balance sweetness and bitterness.
- The peppermint extract can be adjusted according to taste preference.
- Chilling time may vary based on the thickness of the chocolate layer.
- Crispy rice cereal adds a delightful crunch but can be substituted with puffed quinoa or similar cereals for variation.
- Keep the bars refrigerated to prevent melting and preserve texture.
