Candy Cane Crush by Legend

Published on November 26, 2020 by David Wylie

Perfect for Christmastime, Legend has released a candy cane cannabis infused chocolate.

Its minty taste and gentle crunch is a sweet treat for the holidays. We’ve been busy little elves putting them in Christmas cards for our friends.

Like Legend’s other milk chocolate offerings, such as raspberry, the flavour mellows into creaminess and a silky texture.

The 46% cocoa milk chocolate used by Legend comes from renowned master chocolatier Bernard Callebaut.

The bite-sized 10-gram bar of chocolate is infused with 10 mg of THC extracted from cannabis using CO2. There’s no hint of cannabis taste.

It’s scored into four pieces (2.5 mg of THC each).

Legend’s offerings are some of the most affordable chocolates at $3.99. They also have plain milk chocolate and dark chocolate (70% cocoa).

Legend is part of Indiva, which also makes the well-priced Bhang cholcolates.

Renowned chocolatier had bad fortune

A celebrated Calgary chocolate maker, Callebaut founded Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut, which he grew to more than 30 locations before going bankrupt.

After his bad fortune, Callebaut started over and founded Master Chocolat.

The chocolatier was the first North American to be bestowed the honour of “l’Ordre Internationale de la Gastronomie Francaise”, recognized by the French Government for outstanding contribution to the culinary arts.
