Eating an edible in this city used to be a gamble. You wrapped something dry in saran wrap, it tasted like lawn clippings, and you hoped for the best. We are done with that.
The chocolate hitting the NugHub menu right now is dangerous. Not because it’s too strong, but because it actually tastes like something you want to eat. We are seeing brands treat the plant with respect, using solventless hash rosin and unique form factors like chocolate-covered espresso beans instead of just pumping cheap distillate into a mold.
You get a high that feels like a warm blanket instead of a jittery mess, and you don’t have to wash the taste out of your mouth with a soda. We grabbed the best bars in our inventory to see which ones actually hold up. Here is what you should be eating.
Why Chocolate Hits Different
There is a reason seasoned smokers often grab a chocolate bar over a bag of gummies. It’s the fat.
THC loves fat. It binds to the cocoa butter in chocolate, which protects the cannabinoids as they move through your stomach. When you eat a gummy, your body burns through it fast, sometimes giving you that spiky, anxious onset. Chocolate digests slower. The high rolls in smoother, feels heavier in the body, and usually lasts longer.
Plus, a piece of chocolate after dinner just feels better than chewing on a cube of gelatin.
The Heavy Hitters on the Menu
We’ve eaten our way through the stockroom. Here is the honest breakdown of the brands that matter right now.
Dark Star (The Staff Favorite)
Dark Star is taking up a lot of shelf space for a reason—they cover every mood. They use a “Bullet Bar” format that makes dosing easy, and they label everything clearly by effect (Night Time vs. Day Time). We recently met the Dark Star family at a trade show, learning about their Orchard Park, NY heritage as fourth-generation confectioners. Their high potency Bullet Bars line are a New York favorite, blending old-world craft with precise ratios, striving to honor the cocoa bean as much as the cannabis plant.
- The Best Pick: The Cookies & Cream Bullet Bar. It’s currently a “Staff Pick” on our menu because it tastes exactly like the candy bar you grew up with, but with 100mg of THC.
- The Vibe: They break it down by strain type. Grab the Milk Chocolate Toffee (Sativa) for the daytime or the Dark Chocolate (Indica) for the “Night Time” knockout.
Punch Bar (The Heavyweight)
If you have a high tolerance, you already know about Punch Bar. These things are famous in New York for a reason: they do not miss.
- The Upgrade: The Solventless Hash Rosin Dark Chocolate Raspberry is the one to grab if you care about quality. They use rosin instead of distillate, so you get the full plant profile—terpenes and all—for a rounder, more complete high.
- Diet Friendly: Their Sugar-Free Milk Chocolate is surprisingly good. It packs the full 100mg punch without the sugar crash.
1906 (The Functional Microdose)
1906 isn’t trying to just get you stoned; they are trying to fix your mood. They do chocolate-covered coffee beans that are engineered for specific effects.
- The Best Pick: The 1906 “Go” Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans. These are Sativa-based and packed with CBD (100mg THC : 100mg CBD per tin), making them perfect for getting stuff done without the anxiety.
- The Vibe: If you need to be social, grab the “Love” Beans (Sativa Hybrid). They use a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio to keep things loose and happy.
Incredibles (The Classic)
Incredibles has been in the game a long time, and their consistency is unmatched.
- The Best Pick: The Empire State Chocolate Bar. It’s a New York staple. If you like texture in your chocolate, try the Monkey Bar—it usually mixes banana and walnut flavors that mask the cannabis taste perfectly.
Cannatela (The Game Changer)
This is for the people who are bored of bars. Cannatela is literally an Infused Hazelnut Cocoa Spread.
- How to Eat It: Put it on toast, dip a pretzel in it, or (let’s be real) eat it straight off the spoon.
- The Specs: It’s a heavy hitter with a balanced ratio—roughly 87mg THC and 102mg CBD per jar. That high CBD content makes the body high incredibly relaxing.

How to Dose Without Ruining Your Night
Chocolate is tricky because it tastes good. You eat a square, it tastes like dessert, so you want another one. Don’t do it.
- Check the Score: Most bars, like Incredibles and Punch, are scored into 10mg pieces. If you don’t smoke tough, break that square in half. 5mg is plenty to start.
- Melt It: Let the chocolate sit in your mouth for a minute before swallowing. It helps it kick in a little faster.
- The Wait: Chocolate takes time—usually 45 to 90 minutes to fully hit you. Do not eat a second piece after 45 minutes because you “don’t feel it.” That is the classic rookie mistake.
FAQ
Q: Will it melt in the delivery bag?
A: It happens. New York summers are brutal. If your bar feels soft when you get it, just throw it in the fridge for 10 minutes. It snaps right back. It doesn’t ruin the THC.
Q: What is the difference between “Rosin” and regular chocolate?
A: Rosin is solventless—meaning they used ice and water to extract the THC, not chemicals. It preserves the natural flavor and effects of the strain. We recommend the Punch Bar Solventless line for this.
Q: Do you have anything that isn’t loaded with sugar?
A: Yeah, the Punch Bar Sugar-Free Milk Chocolate is legit.
