Late October in Colorado hits different by Saturday. The week is behind you, the mountains are freshly dusted, and there are maybe two good hours of light left before the temperature drops. That's the moment for something warm in your hands.

This is a straightforward hot cocoa — real cocoa, good milk, a splash of maple syrup — with one small addition most people haven't tried yet: a GoodLeaf Hemp Therapeutics CBD + CBG + CBN Honey Stix ($2 each). Each one is a single-serve straw of clover honey infused with 27mg of CBD, CBG, and CBN. You stir it in, and you're done.

The Recipe

Start with your favorite cocoa. A tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, about eight ounces of whole milk or oat milk, warmed until it's smooth and steaming. Don't boil it. Warm is what you're after here.

Tear open one Honey Stix and stir it in. The clover honey dissolves quickly, adds a clean sweetness, and brings 27mg of a CBD, CBG, and CBN blend along with it. Add a pinch of cinnamon on top if you like. That's it.

The single-straw format makes this genuinely easy. No dropper, no measuring, no bottle to open. If you've been curious about CBD but haven't wanted to commit to a full-size product, this is where to start. At $2 each, it's the lowest-barrier item on our shelf.

Why This Combination Works

CBD is the primary cannabinoid here. CBG is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid" — it's what other cannabinoids develop from in the plant, and it tends to pair well with CBD for a clear, balanced feel. CBN is associated with evening relaxation. Together in a moderate dose like this, they may support a calm, settled end to your Saturday without making things heavy.

GoodLeaf carries seven flavors for the Honey Stix, but for something you're stirring into cocoa, the original clover honey is the right call. It's mild enough that you taste the chocolate, not just the sweetener.

Round Out the Evening

If your Saturday routine includes winding down early, the VitaDreamz Slumber Berry Gummies ($6 each) are worth keeping nearby. They're our best-selling sleep gummy — broad-spectrum hemp extract with melatonin, L-Theanine, GABA, and chamomile. Take one after dinner while the cocoa does its thing, and you've got a solid October evening.
