The dose, worked

4 tbsp infused coconut oil × 9.87 mg per tbsp = 39.5 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 16 portions = 2.47 mg per piece.

Theoretical maximum: it assumes complete decarboxylation (THCA × 0.877) and that every milligram ends up in the food. Real yield is usually lower, which is why you start with one portion and wait. Re-run the maths for your flower →

Dosing notes

Coconut oil softens the chocolate, so this bark needs to live in the fridge.
If you break it by hand instead of scoring, the pieces will not be equal and the dose per piece will not be either.

Can I temper the chocolate?

You can, but the added oil will keep it soft at room temperature regardless. The fridge is the simpler answer.

Educational content, not medical advice. Effects vary with body weight, tolerance and what else you have eaten. Label infused food with the milligrams per portion and the date, and keep it away from children and pets.
