Step-by-Step Instructions

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:
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.
