Features Ingredients CBD Chocolate CBD Shopping Edibles Buying Guide Homepage Connecticut CBD Shopping Guide: Where To Buy CBD Infused Edibles & More! April Guilbault November 20, 2020 The world of CBD, or cannabidiol, is a wide and wild one these days-it’s going full-tilt boogie and there’s lots to learn about and even more to try. Plenty of myths and misconceptions swirl around this product (yes, it’s derived from the hemp plant but no, it won’t get you high). There are tinctures and drops and capsules filled with the extract, but for the CTbites crowd, we’re going to focus on the stuff you can EAT: gummies, chocolates, honey, and even drinks. Along with these products, what is really great about the companies and stores selling them is that they also offer a wealth of information and are happy to pass along their knowledge. After all, these products are being used for everything from aches and pains, to help getting a good night’s rest to helping quell anxiety (hello, 2020). This previously stigmatized arena is seeing a great up-tick in activity because it’s looking like there is a well-spring of beneficial possibilities.

Knipschildt has recently launched a new line of chocolate truffles and chocolate bars that are infused with premium, full spectrum CBD. Introducing…Fritzzz. The Food Network once said “Knipschildt’s creations took him from a small CT apartment to an international chocolate sensation. From bonbons to truffles and sauces, Knipshildt translates into chocolate heaven.” Add CBD to the recipe and we’re talking pure magic.

Additionally, Fritzzz produces small boxes of six Salted Caramels and a Dark Chocolate Collection, each tasty morsel infused with 10 mg of CBD.
