Ingredient Notes
- Cannabutter: If you don't already have this made, start with my guide to making cannabutter in a crockpot or cannbutter in an Instant Pot. You can substitute cannabis coconut oil here, if desired.
- Granulated sugar: White, granulated sugar is ideal. However, if you don't want to use cannabutter, or want a double infusion, you can use cannabis sugar here.
- Milk: any type of milk will do. Whether you want to use cannabis milk, traditional dairy milk, or plant-milk substitutes - they all should work here.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: make sure to use unsweetened, or this recipe may end up too sweet.
- Quick cook oats: make sure to use these and not old-fashioned oats, or your cookies may turn out hard and chewy.
- Crunchy peanut butter: crunchy or smooth, your choice, but the chunky texture helps to add to the Rocky Road experience. You can also use infused peanut butter or any type of nut or seed butter here. For a nut-free option, try hemp seed butter.
- Vanilla extract: for flavor.
- Mini-marshmallows: optional, but enhances the Rocky Road experience.

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.
Cannabis coconut oil: Whether you have an abundance of cannabis coconut oil or you are looking for a dairy-free or vegan option, you can easily swap the oil for butter in this recipe. However, I would not recommend swapping a liquid oil, like MCT oil, here.
Cannabis sugar: You can easily use cannabis sugar in this recipe. Feel free to use as a stand-alone ingredient or use it WITH cannabutter or coconut oil for double infusion.
Cannabis peanut butter: If you already have some prepared, you can use cannabis peanut butter in this recipe.
Cannabis milk: Using a cannabis-infused milk or cream will work here.
Cannabis concentrates: You can easily use cannabis concentrates like distillate or FECO in this recipe. Simply warm up the concentrate and mix it in with the fat: butter or oil.
Cannabis salt: For a delicious additional topping, sprinkle a little bit of cannabis salt on top.

Greg Gappa
Hello Emily! Doesn’t heating the canna oil up to boiling decrease the potency of the oil? I understood that after infusing, you should avoid high heat a second time. Is this true?
Many thanks!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Greg. This is a great question! I like to think of it like this:
It’s kind of like when you roast a chicken. You put it in the oven at 350° for 1-2 hours, but the chicken itself only ever needs to get to the internal temp of 165° until it’s done. When baking, the item itself should not get to 350° because it would burn up. You don’t want or need to get up to 350°, you just want the item cooked through or to 165.
THC starts to degrade at 292°F and with boiling, the temperature won't get that high. Plus, you would need more time than what we are working with in this recipe to start degradation.
I hope this helps ☺️
