Ingredient Notes

A white countertop with the ingredients needed to make almond joy cannabis bliss bliss including nut butter, milk, almond extract, chia seeds ,coconut, almonds, syrup, oats, dates and cannabis oil

Quick-cook oats: Use quick-cook oats, not traditional rolled oats
Dates: Buying pre-chopped dates makes this recipe easy, but if you can't find them, simply chop up some pitted dates with a large kitchen knife
Almonds: Use slivered almonds
Chia seeds: Chia seeds can easily be found in your local grocery store
Coconut flakes: Use unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
Milk: Any type of milk that you want, like hemp seed milk or cannabis milk
Nut butter: Any type. For a nut-free option, try hemp seed butter.
Maple syrup: You can substitute honey or agave syrup here if desired.
Cannabis oil: My Bliss Cooking Oil is perfect for this recipe. Find dosing and alternative options listed below.
Dark chocolate chips: or any chocolate you want to use for garnish.

Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

Perfect Dosing

This recipe calls for two tablespoons of cannabis oil.

Each 1mL dropper of my Bliss Cooking Oil contains 2.5mg of THC and 2.5mg of CBD.

A tablespoon contains 15mL, resulting in 37.5mg of THC per tablespoon.

If you use two tablespoons of Bliss Cooking Oil, your total batch will contain 75mg of THC.

You then divide this number by the total number of bliss balls made, which is 24, or however many you made.

To get the total mg of THC per bliss ball, simply divide 75mg/24 bites = 3.125mg of THC per Bliss Ball.

These tasty treats make the perfect dessert, breakfast, or snack. They are pretty filling, and 2-4 bites make the perfect snack serving size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cannabliss balls can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about this recipe from my Well With Cannabis Community.

Can I add a protein source?

Yes, I recommend unflavored collagen protein powder. You can easily find these at your local health food store or buy them online. Each scoop of collagen provides 20 grams of high-quality protein to help keep you full and satisfied after your morning meal. I prefer collagen peptides because they are a single-ingredient protein source, but if you have a protein powder you already love, feel free to use it!

Are these treats low in sugar?

These balls have only ¼ cup of added sugar from the maple syrup and a little bit from the chocolate drizzle. Otherwise, these tasty treats are naturally sweetened with dates. These tasty protein bites are also nutrient-dense; they provide many important vitamins, minerals, and amino acids from the collagen protein powder. The oatmeal and chia seeds provide complex carbohydrates that help to prevent blood sugar spikes, while the almonds and hemp-seed butter provide heart-healthy fats needed to keep you full and focused during the day. Find more sugar-free edibles here.

Will these treats give me the munchies?

Yes, there is always the possibility that edibles could give you the munchies; thankfully, we have many tips and tricks for managing the munchies here.
