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 tasty snack.
You can choose to use either CBD flower or THC flower to make your preferred infusion.
Cannabis Oil
There are many different types of cannabis oils available, you just need to pick one you like the taste of and go from there!
- olive oil

- crockpot cannabutter or Instant pot cannabutter (melted, but not in microwave)
Kief or Decarbed Cannabis
Using decarbed kief or decarbed, ground flower is a great way to infuse this recipe.
These will be added as a separate dry ingredients, like another spice, and can be combined with a teaspoon of garlic powder of teaspoon of salt if needed to help cover the taste.
If you choose this option, feel free to just use regular butter or oil in place of the infused butter or oil above.
Notes and Expert Tips

Melted butter could work for this recipe as well! Check out all of the infusion options above.
You can feel free to add in any flavorings when you add in the cannabis oil, leaving you with the perfect ranch mix.
A tablespoon garlic powder, dill weed, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, and buffalo chex mix seem to be quit popular. A dill pickle chex mix recipe might have to be my next! However, you could also try using chili powder or even brown sugar. You can also experiment with other types of chex cereals or mix cereals to get the mix you’re looking for. (Can you add more bagel chips? Asking for a friend!).
This method works for infusing all different types of chips and crackers. I’ve seen others infuse Doritos, Cheetos, oyster crackers, goldfish crackers, cheese crackers, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and more.
No, you want to avoid the microwave at all costs when working with cannabis! The method above is the proper way to preserve your cannabinoids and terpenes.
