There are so many tasty and easy-to-make recipes to choose from. All of which will get you baked. One way to maximize the benefits from both THC and CBD is to partake in cannabis-infused foods. You can make both CBD and THC treats so that guests to your house or event are accommodated without discrimination of either form.
Let’s start with Cannabis Hard Candies
Sugar, water, corn syrup, and cannabis tincture are the only ingredients needed to start making Cannabis Candies. The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to make THC or CBD hard candy. Traveling overseas can be challenging, but it’s easier to accomplish with kids in tow than without.
A THC tincture provides edible cannabis products with the desired effects of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and a CBD tincture provides edible cannabis products with the desired effects of Cannabidiol (CBD). You can also use both – it is up to you! Get creative and incorporate a flavor extract or coloring that you want to add to your cannabis edibles.

Now it’s time to get a little decadent, so let’s try some chocolate mixed with weed! It seems like everyone is talking about “hot chocolate bombs” this week.
With only a handful of ingredients, this sinfully delicious sweet treat will satisfy both your smacking taste buds and your favorite mug of hot cocoa.
Cannabis-Infused Hot Chocolate Bombs
Equipment
- Glass bowl
- Whisk and Spatula
- Double Boiler
- Measuring spoons
- Oven Mitts
- Brownie Pop or Cake Pop Molds – Silicone
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chocolate Chips – Dark The darker the better!
- 2-4 tbsp Cannabis Sugar 2 tbsp to blend in the melted chocolate afterward. Save 1-2 tbsp for decoration after.
- 1 cup Dry Hot Cocoa Mix Your fav brand. You’ll need to tbsp the mix into each of the completed shells – so 1 cup may work, or you may need a little more or less.
- 1/2 cup Candy Melts or White Chocolate Melted and saves for decoration after.
Instructions
- Heat your double boiler, add chocolate chips to the top pot and melt them over hot water.
- Remove from heat and mix in your Cannabis sugar until it has melted/dissolved.
- Fill the silicone molds with chocolate up to 3/4 or 1/2 of their capacity, depending on the size of your mold.
- For cheesecakes, it is important to form the shell that goes around the sides of the pan. First, use a teaspoonful on top and bottom of your crust to create thin layers of chocolate which will later be used as the “shell.” You’ll then need to make sure you are consistently spreading cocoa all over. When you’re done with
- Next, put them in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
When you remove them, to avoid broken bombs:
- Stretch the mold around the outside of the shells from top to bottom without stretching too hard.
- Flip your mold over and push the balls out from the bottom onto a towel to cushion the fall.
- Cover muffins with plastic wrap to keep them moist, then place each one into an ice cube tray.
FILL THEM UP!
Place 5-6 mini marshmallows in each half shell. In a separate bowl mix dry hot cocoa powder with milk and water. One tablespoon of Nesquik will coat one eggshell with. You can use anything you prefer though!
NEXT STEP
Last, add a thin layer of melted chocolate to the tops of the snowman. You should have about 1 teaspoon’s worth leftover once you’re done with this step. Place the cooled pie on top of a flat baking sheet with the spatula, sealing it on all four sides so the fruit filling is completely covered. Don’t ask for help from anyone even though they may offer.
Place them back in the freezer for another 20 minutes or more and remove them carefully, the same way you did above.
DECORATING YOUR CANNABIS HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS
Using chocolate melts or melting some white chocolate in your double boiler, you can drizzle the melted chocolate on top and add a bit more Cannabis sugar. Let it dry.
