Whisk cocoa powder with cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne; roll truffles in the cocoa to coat.

Store chilled. Yields ~16 truffles at ~5mg THC each.

Why this pairing works
Caryophyllene — in your strain and on your plate
The only terpene that also activates the body's CB2 receptors, caryophyllene brings warm, peppery depth. It loves bold, savory, spicy food—peppercorn steak, aged cheeses, curries.
