Cannabis-Infused Emerald Dark Chocolate Mint Lava Cookies
Deep. Molten. Late-night indulgence.
These St. Patrick’s Day lava cookies bake up crisp on the outside and release a flowing emerald mint center when cracked open. The infusion lives entirely in the molten mint ganache core for consistent dosing and dramatic presentation.
