Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days in your refrigerator.
If you don't think you will consume it with in seven days, freezing the fudge in individual portions is a great way to save it and preserve the potency.
Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
Thankfully, there is more than one way to infuse edible recipes. Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this recipe.
Cannabutter or Oil
Starting with cannabis butter is the most popular way to infuse this recipe. You can make it in a crockpot, Instant Pot, or make kief cannabutter.
Both cannabutter and coconut oil harden when cool, making them perfect consistency for fudge.
I haven't tried it myself, but I do not think liquid cannabis oil like olive oil, MCT oil, vegetable oil or hash oil would work well in this recipe.
Cannabis Concentrates
Concentrates are the easiest way to make a potent cannabis fudge recipe, especially if you have access to medical marijuana.
Decarbed Cannabis Flower
While not my favorite way to infuse a recipe, using just decarbed cannabis flower works here.
Just be sure to grind it up extra fine so the texture does not interfere with the final product.
Using decarbed kief is also a great option. You likely only want to add a gram of weed or two here, depending on how potent you want it to be.
Adjust the amount of cannabis to your own personal needs.
Cannabis Sugar
This will require you to make a from-scratch fudge mixture. A standard recipe calls for sugar, cocoa powder, milk, butter, and vanilla extract.
Just swap your cannabis sugar for the granulated sugar.
Additional Toppings
For a micro dose option, you can infuse this fudge with cannabis salt or cannabis peanut butter.
Combination
You could combine any of the options above for an infusion of cannabis extracts.
Notes and Expert Tips
- If you've never made cannabis fudge before, feel free to make a regular batch first, before infusing, to get the process right.
- Cannabis edibles are a wonderful thing, but they can sneak up on you! If you're new to edibles, be sure to check out my edibles guide first before getting started.

Use my edible dosage calculator and this dosing guide to help you find an amount that is just right for you. If you want to reduce the potency, make a mixture of butter, ur unsalted butter, and cannabutter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cannabis fudge can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about making from my Well With Cannabis Community.
I haven't done it myself, but it should work. Keep the understanding that you should never microwave your cannabutter. If you want to do this, add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a large microwave safe mixing bowl and heat in 30-second increments until they are melted completely. Then gently stir in the cannabutter.
Regular peanut butter and chocolate chips for sure. Fruit could even be a cool option, if you're feeling it!

Sonia
I see it's 1/4 butter, is that melted butter or room temp?
Thank you!
Emily Kyle
Hey Sonia, either option will work in this recipe 😀
Wendy
Can I add eggnog to this recipe
Emily Kyle
Hello Wendy! I haven't tested it myself with eggnog, so I'm not sure, but perhaps you could swap some of the condensed milk for eggnog? Perhaps try a virgin batch first to make sure it turns out OK 🙂 Let us know if it works!
Lesley Whittier
Can I use distillate and how much!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Lesley. You can definitely use distillate for this recipe. Distillate is typically decarbed, so just mix the concentrate with the ½ cup of butter or coconut oil, and then prepare the recipe according to the instructions. 1ml or 1 gram is an excellent place to start, but it is really up to you and your preferences. Hope this helps! 😊
Sean
Done this recipe for 36 with exact ingredients. Why is it not going firm or hardening up in the fridge after 4 hours?
Emily Kyle
Hello Sean. I'm not sure what you mean by "for 36," but if you mean you increased the batch size, it will take longer to harden in the fridge due to volume. Did it harden eventually?
Demi
So I misread and added 1/2 cup cannabutter instead of 1/4 lol just poured the mixture into my tray and it looks so oily🙈 do you think it will eventually harden or have I completely ruined it? Or is there anything I can add at this stage?
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Demi. How did your brownies turn out? I don't think they would be ruined, just not the desired texture if anything. Did the oils accumulate at the top of the brownies while baking? 🧈 Extra butter will make your brownies more fudgy. If this happens again, a splash of milk in the batter can help as well as some additional cocoa powder and flour.

So easy and rich!
Renée from Team EKN
YESSS Kelsey!! 🤗 Thank you for your feedback!
Paul Jessop
Just made some fudge and the butter has separated 😋 👌 😩
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Paul. This is a bummer, but it can be fixed! There are a few reasons why the separation happened; too much butter, too much mixing, or too much milk. You can melt the fudge down, mixing slowly until warmed and blended, repour and refrigerate. You can also try adding in a tiny bit of cornstarch to absorb the extra moisture. Let us know what you try. I hope this helps! ☺️
Jessica
Hi Emily! Can I use MCT in this recipe? Thank you!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Jessica. We don't recommend any liquid oils for this recipe. Butter and coconut oil solidify when cooled, making them perfect for fudge consistency.
