What terpenes give chocolate strains their distinct aromas/flavours?
If you’re chasing the rich smell and taste of chocolate in your weed, keep your eyes peeled for strains rich in myrcene, linalool, and ocimene. These terpenes are all naturally present in cacao beans, giving them their rich, earthy aromas and flavours. In cannabis, they can contribute similar aromas/flavours as well as effects that are physically and mentally soothing.
The 8 best chocolate weed strains
1. Chocolate Thai
Genetics: Thai landrace
Flavour Notes: Filter coffee, nuts, and blonde tobacco
What makes it great? – While we can’t confirm its exact origin story, Chocolate Thai was likely introduced to Europe and The US via Thai Sticks – cannabis flowers neatly tied around sticks of bamboo that originate from northern Thailand. Though hard to find nowadays, Chocolate Thai made a lasting impact on anyone lucky enough to smoke it and was used to breed some classic chocolate weed strains.

2. Chocolope
Genetics: Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze
Flavour Notes: Sweet chocolate, roasted coffee, and earthy undertones
What makes it great? – No list of chocolate strains will ever be complete without mentioning this classic from DNA Genetics. Stemming from the incredible Chocolate Thai we already mentioned and Cannalope Haze, this sativa queen has been satisfying smokers for decades with her rich mix of chocolate and coffee aromas and uplifting high. Chocolope also produced many beloved hybrids – particularly White Chocolope, a cross of Chocolope and the almighty White Widow, and White Choco (see below).
3. Chocolate Diesel
Genetics: Sour Diesel x Chocolate Thai or Sour Diesel x Chocolate Trip
Flavour Notes: Milk chocolate, fuel, and citrus
What makes it great? – Chocolate Diesel is a must-try for any fans of Diesel weed. Another strain with murky origins, there are different varieties of Chocolate Diesel out there stemming from slightly different genetic lines. One thing all Chocolate Diesel varieties have in common, however, is a Sour Diesel parent, which brought tangy citrus and dank fuel aromas together with milky chocolate notes for a mouthwatering experience.
4. Chocolate Kush
Genetics: Multiple variations
Flavour Notes: Dark cocoa, hash, earth, and spice
What makes it great? – As her name implies, Chocolate Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid stemming from landrace Kush varieties. There are many different versions of Chocolate Kush, including Chocolope Kush by DNA Genetics, which is sometimes considered an alternate name for the strain. While it can vary slightly based on who bred it, Chocolate Kush is generally characterised by its notes of dark cocoa and old-school hash, as well as its soothing body stone.

Bred by Amsterdam Genetics, White Choco has milder chocolate notes, creamy undertones, and a delightful spicy kick. Meanwhile, her effect is well-balanced – expect a soothing body stone coupled with a mood lift and some creativity.
6. Chocolate Chunk
Genetics: Undisclosed
Flavour Notes: Sweet earth, pine, and hash
What makes it great? – Bred by T.H. Seeds, Chocolate Chunk is a pure indica variety rumoured to stem from landrace Kush varieties.
