Chocolate Runtz
Also known as: Chocolate Runtz OG
Chocolate Runtz Strain Overview
Chocolate Runtz is a dessert-forward cannabis hybrid that blends the candy-sweet reputation of the Runtz family with rare cocoa-and-cream aromatics. While the exact breeder lineage varies by region, there are two primary versions: one created by James Loud Genetics in collaboration with the founders of Runtz (Ray Bama and Young LB), and another developed by Ananda Farms as a cross between Chocolope and Runtz. This strain represents an evolution of the influential Runtz lineage, selected specifically for its warm, chocolate-adjacent terpene profile.
Chocolate Runtz features striking visual appeal with dense trichome coverage, triangle-shaped dark olive green nugs adorned with thin orange hairs and amber-tinted crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its layered flavor profile that shifts from fruity candy sweetness on the inhale to nutty mocha and cocoa notes on the exhale. The aroma opens with confectionary notes of spun sugar and vanilla cream typical of Runtz, followed by secondary notes of cocoa powder, roasted nuts, and café mocha. In modern dispensaries, Chocolate Runtz often appears as a limited-run phenotype or small-batch cross rather than a mass-produced staple, making it a sought-after cultivar among cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate the blend of familiar Runtz genetics with unique chocolate expressions.
