If any dessert is iconic, it’s chocolate. With research suggesting it’s been enjoyed for over 2000 years, chocolate-based desserts can be found in countries all across the world — in recipes, books, movies (so many of us love classics like Willy Wonka and Chocolat), and so much more. It can’t get any better than that, right? This is the best part…it can. Delta 8 chocolate brings our favorite sweet treat to a whole new level!
But what exactly is Delta 8 THC? And where is this yummy infusion sold? Stick with us to learn more about Delta 8 chocolate, so you can get to enjoying all the benefits of this D8 delicacy. Let’s jump in together!
Simply put, Delta 8 chocolate is chocolate infused with Delta 8 THC! Delta 8 is a cannabinoid naturally found in the hemp plant. It’s found in very small amounts (about 1% of each plant), so it’s common for it to be cleanly converted from CBD, which is found in much greater quantities.
Before it’s converted into Delta 8, CBD is extracted from hemp using a CO2 method. This clean extraction method doesn’t leave behind any by-products or heavy metals. After the extraction process finishes, pressure and heat are applied to the CBD. This converts it into D8 THC — we call this process isomerization. Once this conversion process finishes, the D8 is ready to be formulated into your favorite products, including D8 chocolate!
When it comes to Delta 8 based chocolate and candies, your choices are endless! Like standard chocolate bars, you can find D8 chocolate bars in a wide range of flavors. These varieties include:
Whether you prefer a more classic flavor or like fancier chocolates, there’s a flavor out there waiting for you!
Chocolate is without a doubt one of the most delectable desserts, but did you know that it can be good for you, too? Before manufacturers turn it into bars and tasty tidbits, chocolate first grows naturally on cacao trees, inside fruit pods! These pods contain cacao beans, which are dried and roasted to make cocoa beans. Cocoa beans are used to make cocoa butter, nibs, and paste, which all have unique purposes. Cocoa nibs are usually what chocolatiers use to make chocolate.
Since chocolate comes from a plant, it has a lot of natural health benefits, too! Here are just a few of the beneficial compounds that are in chocolate:
Delta 8 has a lot of great benefits as well! When you consume Delta 8 chocolate, you’ll get to experience all of the benefits that chocolate has to offer, as well as those that come from consuming D8. These benefits may include:
Yes, Delta 8 chocolates are federally legal! As long as any D8 product comes from hemp-derived CBD and not marijuana, it’s following the Farm Bill and is federally legal. This means that all D8 products must contain 0.3% Delta 9 THC or less to be legal for sale.
Although D8 is federally legal, rules and regulations still vary by state. We highly recommend researching your state’s laws before purchasing or traveling with Delta 8 products.
While Delta 8 products are federally legal, age restrictions vary by state. Since state laws are often inconsistent with each other, most Delta 8 brands require consumers to be 21 years or older to purchase D8.
Delta 8 chocolate bars aren’t the only delightful D8 edible on the market! Many other D8 edibles are just as sweet as chocolate, with all the same D8 benefits you know and love.
If you’re a fan of gummy sours, worms, peach rings, and other classic gummy candies, you’ll love Delta 8 gummies. D8 gummies come in many shapes and flavors, are portable, and conveniently pre-measured.

We all know and love this classic edible, and now you can get it infused with Delta 8! Cookie edibles are easy to share and come in lots of great flavors like chocolate chip, sugar cookie, and more.
For those looking for a more rich Delta 8 experience, there are Delta 8 brownies. Like more traditional brownies, these are richer and great for those looking for a small bite to satisfy their chocolate-loving sweet tooth.
Like the chewy marshmallow bars we enjoyed so much in our childhood, D8-infused cereal bars are great for those looking for a more mild sweet snack! Pair a bite with a weekend breakfast, or pack in your to-go bag to easily enjoy this nostalgic treat on any weekend getaway.
Delta 8 edibles all look like sweet treats from the outside — so what’s the difference between them all? D8 chocolate (especially dark chocolate) is special because it’s much more beneficial for your body than other edibles are.
Many brands use artificial flavors or colors in their hemp edible products, while chocolate usually contains more beneficial ingredients (like the tryptophan and flavanols we talked about earlier!). Chocolate edibles — especially those that use dark chocolate — usually contain more beneficial ingredients than other unnaturally sugary treats do.
When searching for Delta 8 chocolate, you want to ensure your products have great ingredients. As we briefly mentioned above, some D8 edibles contain unhealthy ingredients like artificial flavors, preservatives, GMOs, and more. By looking out for the following labels, you can ensure that you’re purchasing a high-quality D8 edible product:
Hot Tip: A good rule of thumb for checking ingredients is whether you’re able to pronounce ingredients on product labels. Ingredients that are hard to say are usually the ones that aren’t as natural or good for you.
Yes, you can make your own Delta 8 THC chocolate! All you need to get started is your favorite kind of chocolate and Delta 8 oil.

Hot Tip: Do you already love to cook with Delta 8 or other cannabinoids like CBD? It might be worth your time to look into purchasing an infusion machine. These can save you from spending all your time in the kitchen — think of them as the hemp lovers equivalent to an air fryer or pressure cooker!
