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 tbps 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 save for decoration after.

Instructions

1. Using your double boiler melt the chocolate chips over hot water.
2. Remove from heat, and stir in your Cannabis sugar until melted/dissolved.
3. Using a scoop or spoon, fill your silicone molds with the melted chocolate about 3/4 – 1/2 way full. ( depending on the size of your molds)
4. Then, use a teaspoon to swirl and stick the chocolate around the sides to form the shells. You’ll need to make sure there are no holes, and that you’ve evenly smoothed out the chocolate on all sides.
5. Next, put them in the freezer in the molds, to harden for at least 20 min.  

When you remove them, to avoid broken bombs:

1) Stretch the mold a little bit around the shells – gently.

2) Flip your mold over and push the balls out from the bottom onto a towel to cushion the fall.

3) Then, just pop them back into the molds for now, loosely.

FILL THEM UP!

1. Pack each half shell with 5 or 6 mini marshmallows.  Then, put your dry hot cocoa mix inside over top. A few tbsp’s per shell will do. Nesquik dissolves smoothly, but you can choose whatever brand you love.

NEXT STEP

1. Top them with a last layer of melted chocolate! Use about a teaspoon full of the melted chocolate left over. Slide it gently on top with the spatula and seal all the edges in, covering all of the fun stuff inside.
2. 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
