This guide will provide you with a step-by-step process to create delicious and potent cannabis chocolates in your kitchen. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, these tips and tricks will help you make perfect cannabis-infused treats.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup high-quality dark chocolate (chips or bar)
- 1/4 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, nuts, dried fruits, or other mix-ins
- Chocolate molds or a lined baking sheet
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
Before infusing your oil or butter, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC and CBD. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread the ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Infuse the Oil or Butter
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, combine the decarboxylated cannabis with coconut oil or butter. Heat gently for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove plant material.
3. Melt the Chocolate
In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Chocolate and Cannabis-Infused Oil
Slowly add the cannabis-infused oil or butter to the melted chocolate, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth and even mixture. Add vanilla extract or other mix-ins if desired.
5. Pour into Molds
Pour the mixture into chocolate molds or spread it evenly on a lined baking sheet. Tap the molds or sheet gently to remove any air bubbles.
6. Chill and Set
Place the molds or baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set. Once hardened, remove the chocolates from the molds or break into pieces if using a baking sheet.
Tips for Perfect Cannabis-Infused Chocolate
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality chocolate and cannabis to ensure the best flavor and potency.
- Control the Dosage: Calculate the dosage carefully to ensure consistent potency in each piece of chocolate. A common starting dose is 5-10mg of THC per serving.
- Store Properly: Keep your cannabis-infused chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and potency.
- Label Clearly: Always label your cannabis-infused edibles clearly to avoid accidental consumption by others.
