As a recent emigrant who settled in SoCal, I often miss the cooler latitudes from which I originate. There is something crisply refreshing about the cold air when you walk out your door and into sub-zero weather. It is difficult to describe the way your breath becomes like crushed ice in your mouth when you inhale deeply. Unfortunately, this frosty feeling is widely unavailable here in Orange County — until now.
As with all of 530 Edibles’ wonderful treats, the deeply rich, but bitter chocolate is the cornerstone to this medible. Inside this is the icy cool mint filling that gives this dessert its wintery palate. I kept mine in the fridge, saving it for a scorching day, which didn’t take long to arrive. The melt in the mouth consistency is not unlike taking a bite of freshly fallen, chocolate covered snow.
This edible has a nice size to it, and I found myself eating it rather passively as a snack while working. Due to both its bulk and its 70 mg potency, 530 Edibles’ peppermint patty could easily be shared. In its principle, it is just like the ones you might get from the movie theater, only quite a bit larger. And much higher quality. And a hell of a lot tastier. There is also absolutely no cannabis taste due to the overpowering mint for those who try to avoid it in their medication.
Expect a slow, unassuming come on that is light and hardly noticeable, until it is on you. I found it to be a fully capable medication, delightfully mellow, especially after the peak. Good for a movie marathon or entertaining guests for dinner, the sativa leaning effects will have you elevated and social while still providing an effective body buzz. If you don’t feel like being convivial, bring a chilled peppermint patty out to your backyard hammock and beat the heat with its brisk mint flavor and soothing high, while swinging in the breeze to your favorite tunes.
