Kiva Dipping Chocolate

Approx. Servings: 20-25 treats; Kiva Dipping Chocolate

Dosing: 2.5 mg of THC each (using 25 oz. of dipping chocolate containing 50 mg THC total)

KIVA DIPPING CHOCOLATE INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ pounds (24 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

• 10 milk or dark chocolate Kiva Bar squares containing 5 mg THC each

TIPS FOR TEMPERING CHOCOLATE

• Stick to higher quality bars of chocolate & avoid chocolate chips.

• Never let water come in contact with the chocolate.

• Have a few clean, dry kitchen towels nearby before you start.

• For new cannabis consumers, keep the dosage of THC per serving low (2.5 mg of THC or less).

• The chocolate should not exceed 115°F for dark chocolate, and 110°F for milk chocolate.

PREPARATION

• Make a double boiler: Fill a medium saucepan with about 2” of water and bring the water to a simmer.

• Place 2/3 of the chopped chocolate in a medium metal, glass or other heat-proof bowl and place the bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not come into contact with the water.

• Let the chocolate sit until it’s about 3/4 of the way melted. Stir with a heat-resistant spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and no chunks remain. Remove the bowl from the heat and place it on a kitchen towel. Dry the outside of the bowl completely. Kiva Dipping Chocolate

• Add the remaining 1/3 chocolate and the Kiva chocolate. Continue stirring with a spatula until all the chocolate is completely melted. The chocolate should cool to about 89°F for dark chocolate, and 85°F for milk chocolate.
• The chocolate is now ready to be immediately used for dipping or coating.

DIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Gently dip one food at a time in the melted chocolate. Food may include strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, or the favourite holiday treat of your choice.

Gently shake off the excess chocolate into the bowl and place your dipped treat on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Repeat with the remaining items.

Let cool at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or place in the refrigerator for 15-25 minutes.

Discard any leftover chocolate or save for future use by spreading leftover Kiva Dipping Chocolate on a separate, parchment-lined baking sheet and letting it cool at room temperature. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
