The most important factors determining human health, as well as the duration and quality of life, are lifestyle and nutrition. Improper nutrition, frequent stress cause different diseases. In this regard, over the past decades, the need for micronutrients and other physiologically necessary substances has increased. Currently, functional nutrition is becoming increasingly important, thanks to which the human body, along with food, receives necessary proteins, vitamins, flavonoids, macroand microelements, and other biologically active substances. Functional foods are beneficial to human health due to their high content of functional ingredients. They help to increase the resistance to various diseases and to normalize many physiological processes in the human body.The use of non-traditional and little-known raw materials creates an opportunity to solve the problem of producing high-quality functional food products. One of the types of such vegetable raw materials are hemp seeds, which are characterized by a high content of biologically active substances. This creates prospects for the use of hemp seeds in the production of functional products.The article presents the developed functional confectionery products – dark and milk chocolates with hemp seeds. The optimal ratio of filling components for chocolates has been selected. The effect of the concentration of ingredients on the quality of bitter and milk chocolate has been studied. Recipes and technologies for dark and milk chocolates with hemp seed filling have been developed.The carried out theoretical and experimental studies has confirmed the effectiveness of the use of hemp seeds and allowed the development of new recipes for chocolates. The product launch contributes to the expansion of the range of functional confectionery products.
