Storage Instructions
Hot cocoa bombs are best if consumed shortly after making. However, you can store them in a refrigerator for up to 7 days in an air-tight container or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Keep these bombs at a cool temperature to avoid melting.
Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this recipe.
Chocolate Infusion Options:
If you're looking to infuse the chocolate shell with cannabis, this in-depth chocolate guide offers THREE different infusion methods for you to choose from:

Hot Cocoa Infusion Options:
For this recipe, I prefer adding just decarbed flower or kief to the hot cocoa mix, but you could also:

Milk Infusion Options
If you want to keep these hot cocoa bombs virgin, not infused with cannabis, in case you have kids or others around who cannot consume, try infusing this drink with cannabis milk instead!

Cannabis Hot Cocoa Bombs
Ingredients
To Make 1 Cup of Cocoa Mix
- 8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 tablespoons white or cannabis sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground, decarbed cannabis
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle peppers
To Make 8 Hot Cocoa Bombs
- 1 cup cannabis hot cocoa mix
- 1 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolates
- ½ cup marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate optional, for decoration
- 1 teaspoon sprinkles of choice optional, for decoration
To Make A Single Serving
- 1 finished hot cocoa bomb
- 1 cup milk cannabis-infused, dairy, or plant-based
Instructions
- Prepare the cannabis hot cocoa mix first. In a small bowl, add the cannabis powder, cocoa powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground chipotle if using. Whisk well until all ingredients are well incorporated. Store in an airtight jar until ready for use.
- Set up your workstation, so everything is ready to go when you start the process. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set up your molds.
- Fill the bottom portion of the double boiler with one cup of water. Add the top pan and place on the stove, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Once simmering, add the chocolate chips or wafers. Steam from the bottom pan will heat the chocolate in the top pan, allowing the chocolate to melt slowly.
- Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. If you're infusing the chocolate, add your infusion method of choice now. Once everything is melted and combined, turn off the heat, remove the double boiler's top portion, and set it aside.
- Spoon the melted chocolate into the molds, making a thin coat along the wall of the entire sphere.
- Place the molds in the freezer until the chocolate is set.
- Fill one half with two tablespoons of hot cocoa mix.
- Top the same half with one tablespoon of mini marshmallows.
- Gently dip one empty half back into the melted chocolate.
- Bring the empty halves together with a full half carefully to seal, smoothing chocolate as necessary.
- Garnish with any additional chocolate and toppings.
- When ready to enjoy, place one cocoa bomb in your favorite mug and top it with warm milk to release the powder, stir and enjoy.
