Aerīz Full Spectrum Hash Drops have long been near the top of my favorite edibles list. When I heard Aerīz was releasing a line of chocolate truffles using the same formula, I couldn’t wait to review them. Recently, I picked up all three flavors of truffles: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Mint, and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter.

Aerīz Truffles came as a 10 pack of truffles with 10mg of THC per piece in three flavors: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Mint, and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter. Each truffle was an imperfect cube, three-quarters-of-an-inch across and a half-inch tall with a slight taper from bottom to top. The milk chocolate was a creamy mocha brown that melted slightly when held between the fingers. The dark chocolate options were a much deeper coffee brown that resisted the warmth of my hand.

The Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter was a sweet-and-creamy melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, holding a center of crushed peanuts similar to a drier version of Reese’s peanut butter cup filling. Both of the dark chocolate options had a harder outer shell providing a satisfying chocolate “break” when bit. The interior of the mint was a creamy coffee-colored aerated-truffle filling that balanced the flavor of fresh spearmint against the dark chocolate. The Dark Chocolate Sea Salt filling was slightly darker and denser with a moist fudginess that contrasted against the hard dark chocolate shell. There was no indication of the cannabis infusion at any point in any of the flavors.

A slow-moving sense of calm and wellbeing started to reduce my baseline anxiety within half an hour. My headspace was wide open. My awareness window widened, and I was pulled into the moment in front of me. A warming, muscle relaxing physical buzz followed the mental shift. The collected mental state and pain relief worked for almost any occasion, and while I could tap into a lower dose for a productivity boost in the morning, a handful of chocolates guided me to sleep at night.
