Price: $22

Kiva Confections’ latest chocolate innovation is, in essence, a dare to dream. It’s a bold but unsurprising move for the San Francisco edible brand, which has served as an industry standard-bearer since forming in 2010. Obviously, the cannabis industry has changed since then, but thankfully, Kiva has kept up — or, in many cases, leapt ahead — of the curve. Kiva’s new Midnight Mint Dark Chocolate CBN bar, which combines 5mg THC with 2mg of the sleep-supporting cannabinoid CBN per serving, features a veritable melting pot of soothing ingredients that taste truly incredible, too. In this case, the recipe includes rich dark chocolate, fresh mint, cocoa nibs, and a pleasantly balance ratio of cannabinoids designed to send you off to sleep with a smile. With a total of 100mg THC and 40mg CBN per bar, who knew dessert before bed could have such positive consequences?
