CBD Dark Chocolate Mint Bark

I take CBD oil every day to fight inflammation and stress, usually in oil form, but it is so much more fun being able to enjoy it in dessert form, specifically in chocolate form. I enjoy dark chocolate just about every day, so I figure, why not add my CBD oil to my treats sometimes? Raw Guru recently sent me some lovely CBD products from Veggimins, including some of their dark chocolate bars and 500 mg peppermint CBD oil so that gave me an idea. Chocolate bark! I haven't made any in ages, but I used to love making and eating chocolate bark back in the day as a kid, so why not?!

I love that it doesn't require any fancy chocolate molds, and it not fussy. I did not used to own chocolate molds, so it was one of the first things I made. I was picturing a dark chocolate bark swirled with green and white to make it pretty. Luckily it turned out just as I had planned. I hate it when things don't turn out. They usually still taste good even if they don't look pretty but I am somewhat of a perfectionist most of the time when it comes to the appearance of my desserts.

I just melted some of that Veggimins dark chocolate, along with some other dark chocolate I had to create the base for the bark and added a little peppermint extract, along with the peppermint CBD oil to give it just enough peppermint flavor. I love peppermint things in the summer for their cooling affect!

I then tinted some coconut butter green with matcha, which by the way also goes good with peppermint and chocolate and swirled that into the bark along with some coconut butter to create a tricolor affect. It was lovely, and so easy! If you are a peppermint fan, and would like to get your daily dose of CBD in chocolate form, give this a try!
