    Ingredient Notes

    All of the ingredients needed to make cannabis Cheetos.
    • Cheetos: Cheddar cheese or flamin' hot Cheetos; pick whichever flavor you enjoy most
    • Cannabis oil: There are many different types of oil to choose from in the alternative infusion options below
    • Kief: Want an extra potent batch? You can add kief to make this recipe more potent; see directions below

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    • Step 1 - If you haven't already, prepare your cannabis oil. See oil infusion options below. Put your desired amount of oil in an oil sprayer.
    • Step 2 - Preheat the oven to 240 degrees F. Decide if you want to spray or shake your Cheetos. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set it aside.
    • Step 3 - Measure out a single serving of Cheetos, approximately 1 ounce.
    • Step 4 - If spraying: spread the Cheetos on the reserved baking sheet. Spray the Cheetos with the oil sprayer in an even layer. If adding kief, sprinkle it on now. Then toss the Cheetos and spay again until your desired dose is used.

    • Step 5 - If shaking: add the Cheetos and kief to the ziplock bag. Pour the oil in. Seal the bag and shake well.
    • Step 6 - Once well coated, transfer to the reserved baking sheet. Place the Cheetos in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
    • Step 7 - Remove from the oven and let cool.
    • Step 8 - Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight bag and label.

    Note: complete step-by-step printable instructions are located in the recipe card below.

    Storage Instructions

    These are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days if needed. Learn more about how to store edibles here.

    Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options

    As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this recipe.

    Cannabis Oil Options

    This is a quick and easy way to infuse this recipe. However, it's important to note that liquid-based oils will work much better than solid-based oils. 

    Avoid solid oils like coconut oil and cannabutter. Instead, opt for a liquid oil like:

    • MCT oil
    • Olive oil
    • CBD oil
    • Vegetable oil

    Kief or Decarbed Flower

    Using decarbed kief or just decarbed flowers is a great way to increase the potency of this recipe. Just be mindful about how many milligrams of THC you add to each batch. This psychoactive compound should be enjoyed in moderation.

    Some THC claims on bags stating they contain THC 600mg will be too strong for most consumers. Always keep the safety of consumers in mind and follow the golden rule of starting low and going slow.

    Cannabis Salt

    Prefer microdosing? This easy cannabis salt is the perfect way to add just a hint of cannabis to your favorite treat.

    Notes and Expert Tips

    • If you are using decarbed flower or kief, don't forget the decarb process will add an extra 40-minute activation time to the total time
    • Use the edible dosage calculator to calculate the potency of your final product before getting in the kitchen
    • Be sure to label your finished cannabis product with the mg of THC. This can help to reduce consumer confusion and overconsumption
    • Always keep your edible cannabis snack products out of the hands of children! Safety first is the highest priority, especially with products whose packaging design is attractive to kids.

    That depends from person to person. Check out my post on how to dose edibles safely to find out which recommended dosage is right for you.
