Rocky road
Chocolate, marshmallows and nuts set in a pan and cut into squares. The marshmallows go in after the chocolate has dropped to barely warm, or they melt and the whole pan turns into fudge.

Ingredients
3 tbsp infused coconut oil
Set your infusion strength above and this splits into infused and plain coconut oil to hit whatever dose you want.
- 16 ozdark chocolate — dairy-free, chopped and divided
- 3 cupsmini marshmallows
- 1½ cupsroasted almonds — roughly chopped
- ½ tspflaky sea salt
Method
- 01
Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides so the slab lifts out in one piece.
- 02
Melt three-quarters of the chocolate in a dry bowl over barely simmering water, then take it off and stir in the remaining quarter until smooth. Keep the bowl and the spatula dry — water seizes chocolate into a paste that no amount of stirring will bring back.
- 03
Stir in the infused coconut oil and the salt, then leave the bowl on the counter until the chocolate feels cooler than your finger.

- 04
Fold in the almonds first, then the marshmallows, turning until every marshmallow has a coat on it. Chocolate at this temperature holds its shape around them; hot chocolate melts them into white streaks and the mixture goes soupy.
- 05
Keep folding for another half minute after it looks done. The chocolate is the only thing carrying the dose and the nuts and marshmallows push it around, so an under-mixed batch gives you rich corners and lean ones.
- 06
Scrape into the pan and press level with an offset spatula without compacting it — rocky road should keep its lumpy surface.
- 07
Chill until firm all the way through.
120 min
- 08
Lift the slab out and cut a measured 4 by 6 grid with a long knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry between cuts. Measure it rather than cutting by eye; uneven squares are uneven servings.
- 09
Keep the squares in a marked container in the refrigerator. Rocky road has a reputation as a children's party sweet, so it needs a written label and a shelf nobody browses.
Built on
Standard rocky road: 16 oz chocolate to 3 cups mini marshmallows and 1½ cups nuts, set in a lined 9-inch square pan.
Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies
The standard creamed-butter drop cookie, with the butter browned first. Browning drives off water and deepens the flavor enough to cover any grassiness in the infusion.

Fudgy one-bowl brownies
A high-fat, low-flour brownie that bakes dense rather than cakey. The cocoa does most of the work of hiding the infusion.

Two layers, a muffin pan and a freezer. No oven, no smell, and the dose lives in the filling where you can measure it exactly.
