Multitrance CBD Chocolate Cream Cookies 10mg

Two cookie ranges, and only one has CBD in it

Multitrance runs two cookie lines. This one, the CBD Cream Cookies, states ten milligrams of CBD in each seventeen gram cookie. The other, the Cannabis Cookie Bites, is a twenty two gram biscuit with no cannabinoid content at all.

You do not have to take our word for the second part. Read the trade description our supplier publishes for the Cookie Bites and the cannabis element is described as playful cannabis inspired branding, as a cannabis themed design, and as eye catching branding that adds personality. Three phrases, all about the artwork. Not once is cannabis described as something in the biscuit, and no milligram figure appears anywhere, because there is nothing to state.

That is a perfectly legitimate product. A novelty biscuit with a leaf on the wrapper is exactly what it says it is, once you know how to read it. The problem is that nothing in the naming tells you. Cannabis Cookie Bites and CBD Cream Cookies sound like two flavours of the same thing.

The test is the one that works across this entire category: look for a milligram figure. A product that states one has the ingredient. A product that leads with the word cannabis and never states a number is selling you a picture.

This cookie states ten milligrams. The Cookie Bites do not state anything, and we have listed both because customers ask for both by name, not because we think they are interchangeable.

Chocolate or hazelnut, and the word missing from this listing

A second correction, and this one is ours.

Our supplier titles this product CBD Chocolate Cream Cookies. Our catalogue has it as CBD Cream Cookies, with the word chocolate dropped somewhere between the two. The image file attached to it is named for the chocolate version, which is how we know which one it is.

That matters because the other cookie in this range is the hazelnut version, and hazelnut is a declared allergen. A listing that says only CBD Cream Cookies gives someone with a nut allergy no way to tell which of the two they are reading. We have set the display name on this page to include the flavour, and the underlying catalogue record is being corrected.

The wider market is no better. A search aimed specifically at the chocolate variant returns the hazelnut carton as its first result and reports the hazelnut ingredient list as though it belonged to the chocolate one. The two are genuinely difficult to keep apart even at the source.

If you have a nut allergy, the practical advice is the same as on the chocolate bars in this range: read the ingredient list on the listing and the wrapper when it arrives, and do not rely on the product name alone anywhere in this family.

What is published, and what we are not going to borrow

The brand publishes a full ingredient list for the hazelnut variant of this cookie. It does not publish one for the chocolate variant in any form we could verify, and we are not going to lift the hazelnut list across and present it as this cookie's, because thirty per cent of that list is hazelnut cream.

So here is what we can say, and it is honest about its own limits.

Two things are structural to the range rather than to a flavour. The first is that the recipe uses hemp flour at five per cent alongside hemp oil and CBD. Three separate hemp-derived entries on one list is unusual, and nobody in this market remarks on it. Hemp flour is milled from the seed, so it brings texture and a mild nuttiness rather than any cannabinoid, and the CBD is listed separately for exactly that reason.

The second is the may-contain statement, which covers other nuts, peanuts and sesame seeds. That is a shared-line warning rather than an ingredient, and every retailer selling these drops it. It applies to the chocolate cookie as much as the hazelnut one.

Beyond that: wheat, milk, egg and soy are all in the base recipe, so this is not a cookie for anyone avoiding any of the four. We have asked our supplier for the chocolate variant's own declaration and will publish it here when it arrives.

Ten milligrams, and the ninety milligram cookie nobody compares it to

Ten milligrams in a cookie is a small, deliberate amount. It happens to match the Food Standards Agency's precautionary advice for healthy adults, which is no more than ten milligrams of CBD a day from food supplements. Nothing here is dosage guidance, but it does mean a carton of these is a long way from being an afternoon's biscuits.

What the market does not tell you is that the same manufacturer makes the same cookie at ninety milligrams, in a box and in a jar, in chocolate, hazelnut and a coconut version under its MediCBD label. That is nine times the amount in a cookie of broadly similar size.

Two lines, near-identical names, a ninefold difference, and no page anywhere puts them next to each other. If you have seen a Multitrance cream cookie quoted at ninety milligrams and assumed it was this one, it was not.

For most people the ten milligram version is the sensible one. It is the format where a cookie is a cookie rather than a delivery mechanism, and the amount is small enough that eating two does not become a decision.

What it is like to eat

A soft-baked sandwich cookie with a cream filling, closer to a supermarket cream biscuit than to a bakery cookie. Seventeen grams is a modest size, roughly two mouthfuls, and the individual wrapper means it survives a bag.

The chocolate cream is the sweet part and does most of the work. Behind it there is a faint nuttiness from the hemp flour in the biscuit itself, which reads as a wholemeal or oat character rather than as anything herbal.

The CBD is not detectable. At ten milligrams inside a sweetened cream filling there is nothing of the grassy bitterness that a higher-strength gummy carries, which is the main practical argument for this format over a sweet.

It is a biscuit. A pleasant, unremarkable, slightly sweet biscuit with a measured amount of CBD in it, and there is something to be said for a product that does not try to be more interesting than that.

The cookies we stock, compared

The cookie shelf in this catalogue divides on the same line as everything else: does a milligram figure appear on the label.

Two of the products below state one. The rest are cannabis-themed biscuits, which is a different purchase.

Who should skip these

Anyone avoiding wheat, milk, egg or soy. All four are in the base recipe and there is no version of this cookie without them.

Anyone who reacts to traces of nuts, peanuts or sesame. The may-contain statement covers all three and the hazelnut version is made on the same line.

Anyone who wants a meaningful amount of CBD in one sitting. Ten milligrams is the point of this product rather than a limitation, but if a larger figure is what you are after, this is the wrong end of the range.

And anyone expecting a bakery cookie. This is a wrapped cream biscuit, and the Euphoria cereal cookies are the drier, more serious alternative if that is closer to what you had in mind.
