Recreational marijuana use will soon be legal in Canada—making it the second country in the world to implement legislation—and Oh Henry is launching a limited-edition 4:25 bar that's branded as a solution for the [munchies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hostess-munchie-mobile).

The 4:25 bar is said to be "Specially formulated for the intense hunger that hits 5 minutes after 4:20," with Oh Henry clarifying "It’s edible. It’s not an edible." Fans of the original Oh Henry bar will notice a few key differences, including the fact that the new [limited-edition bar has no chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hu-snacksize-bars), more salty peanuts and caramel fudge.

With recreational marijuana legalization in Canada, brands will have ample opportunity to create a variety of snacks and beverages to appeal to consumers by celebrating cannabis culture.
