Whether you’ve got cannabutter, leftover flower, or a syringe of FECO/RSO, this recipe transforms your ingredients into rich, delicious chocolates. Let’s get started!

Recipe Features

Why You Will Love This Guide

I’ve heard from so many members of my Well With Cannabis Community who confess to being “lazy” when it comes to making edibles.

And honestly? I get it! Sometimes we just want a quick, easy, and effective option without the hassle.

That is exactly why I created this guide. We aren’t making chocolate from scratch here (though that is a fun project for another day). Instead, I’m showing you how to take high-quality premade chocolate, like chips or melting wafers, and infuse it simply and effectively.

I love this guide because it offers flexibility. I’ve broken it down into three distinct infusion methods:

1. Cannabutter or Cannabis Oil: Perfect if you already have a jar in the fridge.
2. Decarbed Flower or Kief: Great for using up what you have on hand.
3. Concentrates (FECO/RSO): My personal favorite for a potent, shelf-stable treat.

This way, no matter which option you have on hand, it will be easy to make your own cannabis chocolates quickly and easily. Let’s get started!

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• Fill the bottom portion of the double boiler with 1 cup of water. Add the top pan and place on the stove and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Once simmering, add the chocolate chips or wafers.
• Steam from the bottom pan will heat the chocolate in the top pan, allowing the chocolate to melt slowly. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted, about 5 minutes.
• If following method one – stir in your butter or oil; if following method two – stir in your decarbed kief or ground flower; if following method three – stir in your cannabis concentrates. Stir the chocolate mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
• Once everything is melted and combined, turn off the heat, remove the double boiler's top portion, and set it aside.
• If you plan on pouring the chocolate into molds, use a spoon or other similar tool to get the hot chocolate into your desired mold cavities.
• Gently tap the molds against the counter or other flat surfaces to release any remaining air bubbles.
• Place the chocolate-filled molds in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes to set.
• After 20 minutes, pop the chocolates out of the molds and place them in a ziplock bag or other air-tight storage container.
• If you used method one, store your chocolates in the refrigerator or freezer. If you used method two or three, you could store it at room temperature for up to 1 week. If you don't plan on using them within a week, store them in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

• If you’re unable to measure 6 ounces, use 1 cup. 
• Melting In The Microwave: This is OK – BUT – do not microwave the chocolate if your infusion option is in it – it could destroy your THC and other cannabinoids. Instead, melt the chocolate in the microwave and THEN stir in your infusion option of choice.
• Using Other Concentrates: If you are using cannabis concentrates instead of FECO/RSO, check this guide first to see if the concentrate needs to be decarbed.
• Using Alcohol-Based Tinctures: Find special instructions for working with alcohol-based tinctures in the post above.

What You’ll Need

Let’s gather our supplies. You don’t need fancy equipment, but having the right base ingredients makes a huge difference.

• Premade Melting Chocolate: Options that work include chocolate chips, melting chocolates, and bars of chocolate. You can use standard chocolate chips, but I personally prefer melting wafers (sometimes called confectionery coating or candy melts). They are designed to melt smoothly and harden with a nice snap without needing to be tempered. High-quality chocolate bars work too!
• Cannabis-Infusion of Choice: this will depend on which method you pick. You should choose depending on what product you have access to.

Method #1: Infused with Oil or Butter

• Cannabutter or cannabis oil – your choice, but you only need one.
• Additionally, you can use either store-bought or homemade oils such as homemade CBD oil, CBG oil, CBN oil, store-bought CBD oil, CBG oil, or CBN oil if you are looking for specific wellness benefits.
• If you’re unsure what oil to use, check out my guide to understanding the many different types of cannabis oil.

Method #1: Oil or Butter

This is the most popular infusion method I see being used in my Well With Cannabis Community, mostly because many of us already have a batch of infused butter or coconut oil sitting in the fridge. It’s a classic for a reason!

If you don’t already have these recipes prepared but want to use them, here are recipe guides to show you how to make them at home:

• Crockpot cannabutter, stovetop cannabutter, Instant Pot cannabutter
• CBD cannabutter or kief cannabutter
• Cannabis coconut oil
• Cannabis MCT oil

Step-by-Step With Photos

1. Step 1 – Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water. Fill the top with your choice of chocolate, like chips or wafers.
2. Step 2 – Allow the steam to melt the chocolate.
3. Step 3 – Add your cannabutter or cannaoil and stir in well.
4. Step 4 – Pour the chocolates into your mold of choice.

Method 2: Decarbed Flower or Kief

I love this method when I want the full-spectrum benefits of the whole plant. It’s rustic and effective.

Just remember: using kief will result in a smoother texture than ground flower, which can sometimes be a bit gritty in smooth chocolate.

This is a great way to reap the benefits of the whole plant and increase the potency in a way that can’t be done with butter or oil.

Keep in mind that using decarbed kief will likely result in a stronger, more potent infusion than using decarbed flower or trim. Be sure to dose according to your own personal tolerance.

Method 3: Concentrates

In my opinion, this is the gold standard for home cooks who want professional-style results.

Concentrates like FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) or RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) are potent and typically have less plant material than flower, resulting in a smoother mouthfeel.

Remain Patient

Chocolate is sensitive. I always recommend heating it “low and slow.” If you rush it with high heat, the chocolate can scorch or become grainy. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Avoid Moisture To Prevent Seizing

Water is the enemy of melting chocolate. Even a tiny drop of water or steam getting into your bowl can cause the chocolate to “seize,” turning it into a hard, gritty, unworkable lump instantly. Make sure your bowls and spoons are completely dry before you start.

Additionally, do not add any ingredient that may contain water, such as honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract.

Be Careful Of The Microwave

While I prefer a double boiler for control, you can use a microwave. However, do not microwave your cannabis infusion. High heat could destroy your THC and other cannabinoids and terpenes.

Instead, melt the chocolate in the microwave and THEN stir in your infusion option of choice.

Special Instructions For Infusing With Tincture

If you want to use an alcohol-based tincture like the Green Dragon or Golden Dragon, you cannot add it directly to the chocolate. The water content in the alcohol will seize the chocolate immediately.

The Fix: You must evaporate the alcohol first. Place the tincture in a heat-safe dish over a double boiler (ensure good ventilation and no open flames if using gas!). Let the alcohol evaporate until you are left with a thick, sticky oil (FECO). Then mix that oil into your chocolate.
