Step-by-Step Guide to Making Weed Chocolate

Follow these simple steps to create your own weed chocolate at home:

Step 1: Prepare Your Infused Oil or Butter

If you haven’t already prepared your infused cannabis oil or butter, here’s a quick method:

Decarb your cannabis by baking it at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes.
Combine your decarbed cannabis with your choice of oil or butter in a slow cooker or double boiler.
Let it simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth to remove plant material.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

In a double boiler, melt your chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!

Step 3: Combine Chocolate and Infused Oil

Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and slowly stir in your infused oil or butter. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth. If desired, this is the time to add any optional ingredients like nuts or dried fruits.

Step 4: Pour Into Molds

Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking dish. Make sure to spread it evenly.

Step 5: Cool and Set

Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set. Once set, pop the chocolates out of the molds.

Storing Your Weed Chocolate

Store your homemade weed chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within a few weeks for the best quality.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, making weed chocolate can come with its challenges. Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot:

Chocolate Seizing: If your chocolate becomes grainy or thick, it may have come into contact with moisture. Make sure all your utensils are dry.
Too Strong/Weak: Adjust the amount of infused oil or butter based on your preference. Start with a small amount and increase as needed.
Inconsistent Texture: Ensure that you mix the chocolate and infused oil thoroughly to avoid separation.

Additional Ideas for Cannabis Recipes

Once you’ve mastered weed chocolate, consider trying other cannabis recipes that incorporate infused oil or butter. Here are a few ideas:

Cannabis Cookies: Use your infused butter in your favorite cookie recipe.
Brownies: Replace the oil or butter in a brownie mix with your infused version for a delicious treat.
Cannabis Coffee: Stir some infused oil into your morning brew for a delightful start to your day.
