Storage Instructions
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.
Whether it be distillate or FECO, wax or shatter, all options work here.
Just be sure to check if the concentrate or extract needs to be decarbed first. Then add as many mg THC as desired.
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 microdose 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.
- Be mindful of how much THC you add to the following recipe. You want to have an enjoyable experience, but you don’t want to over-do it, either. 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.
- Know that if you add THC, you run the risk of failing a drug test.

Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t done it myself, but it should work. Keep the understanding that you should never microwave your cannabutter.

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!

Can you use the same amount of infused coconut oil as you do your cannabutter in this recipe? Or would it be a different ratio?
Hi Destinee. You’ll definitely want to use the same amount of oil as a substitute for the butter. Happy cooking!
I accidentally doubled my canna butter! It did not set properly, it is lumpy soup. Delicious but not what I was hoping for.
Is there an easy fix?
Hi there, Trish 😊 No worries! My suggestion would be to double the remaining ingredients to match the extra cannabutter. This should balance everything out and give you a complete double batch of your recipe. Remember, cooking is all about experimentation and sometimes, the best creations come from unexpected situations. Happy cooking and enjoy the extra servings!
I love this recipe from Emily, it is so quick and easy to make with your cannabutter and I added some salted cashews chopped up for the topping and they were delicious 😋, thanks so much for the recipe, I think I am going to try white chocolate chips for my next batch of fudge, I am sure it will be delicious
Hello there, Amy! 😊 I’m so thrilled to hear you enjoyed the recipe and put your own twist on it with the salted cashews – that sounds absolutely delicious! Your idea for using white chocolate chips in the next batch sounds mouthwatering. I appreciate your kind words and enthusiasm. It’s always a joy to share these recipes and it’s even more rewarding when I hear how much you’re enjoying them!
i’ve made this recipe many times and it has always turned out great! Very easy and quick. My question is: Can you make this with peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips? I would like to make some peanut butter fudge and want to make sure everything will bind together or do you need to add anything else? Thank you for any advice.
Hi Richard. We haven’t personally tried it, but I don’t see a problem with simply replacing the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips. Sounds delightful actually! Good luck!
So easy, so good. Just made a second batch with dark chocolate and crystalized ginger pieces.
I sprinkle it with cappuccino spice dust to finish it off.
Hi Jess. That sounds DELIGHTFUL!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
This was so very easy. I was done putting it together in 10 minutes. 10 minutes and it was in the pan. Thank you so much Emily, you are the best.
Hi Gary. Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the recipe was easy and quick for you. That’s always our goal – to create delicious, fuss-free meals. Keep enjoying the kitchen adventures and come back anytime for more recipes!
How can you incorporate cherry flavor into cannabis fudge?
I was thinking, instant flavored, cherry, gelatin powder,, but I’m not sure how it would turn out
Hi Patricia. Sounds delicious! Using instant cherry-flavored gelatin powder could certainly work, but it might alter the texture of your fudge.
Another option could be to use natural cherry extract, which would give your fudge a lovely cherry flavor without changing its consistency. Just add it in when you’re mixing your ingredients together.
Remember, edibles are all about experimentation, so don’t be afraid to try different things until you find what works best for you. Let us know how your cherry-cannabis fudge turns out. Happy baking!
DELICIOUS and easy!! Question: any idea about what temperature fudge should be before you remove from heat. I have a candy thermometer and went below ‘normal’ fudge to be safe. Also, do you think this could be thinned out a bit to be poured into candy molds? Thanks in advance!!! 🙂 But again … D E L I C I O U S ! ! !
Hi Lisa. Typical temperature for fudge is between 234º-238º. With this recipe, ensuring the mixture is silky smooth is key. As for molding the fudge, I believe you could thin out the mixture slightly with a bit more cream or milk to make it pourable for candy molds. However, be cautious not to add too much liquid as it could affect the final texture of the fudge. You can always try a small batch to see if you are happy with the final results.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you found our recipe delicious and easy!
Just wanted to post an update that I did end up trying this fudge recipe with my infused MCT oil (I tried it before I saw your response) and it ended up working out amazingly! The fudge was delicious and perfect and lasted in the fridge for a few weeks. Thank you, Emily!
Hi Jessica. We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that the fudge recipe worked out wonderfully with your infused MCT oil! Thank you so much for coming back to share your success with us. Hearing about our readers positive experiences and culinary adventures is what makes this all worthwhile.
If you decide to experiment with any other recipes or have any more questions, don’t hesitate to drop a comment. Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Happy cooking and enjoy your delicious creations!
I am sensitive to diary. Ok with butter but not sure how I would do with condensed milk?
Is there a non diary substitute for the condensed milk ?
Hi Jane. We have not experimented, but I’ve found a few alternatives for you to consider:
∙ Coconut Condensed Milk: This is a great non-dairy substitute for condensed milk in fudge recipes. You can make your own by simmering full-fat coconut milk and sugar until it thickens.
∙ Soy or Almond Condensed Milk: Soy or almond milk can also be reduced with sugar to create a non-dairy condensed milk. However, they might not be as creamy as the coconut version.
∙ Cashew Cream: Blend soaked cashews with a bit of water until smooth, then simmer with a sweetener until it reduces. This creates a rich, creamy base that can work well in fudge recipes.
∙ Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk Brands: There are several brands like Nature’s Charm and Let’s Do Organic that offer ready-made, dairy-free sweetened condensed milk options, typically made from coconut.
When substituting ingredients, it takes a bit of trial and error to find the perfect substitution. We recommend making a non-infused batch until you find the recipe you like, so you’re not wasting any cannabis in recipes that don’t turn out right or if you don’t like the final results. Let us know what you try. Enjoy your baking adventure!
Hi Emily! Can I use MCT in this recipe? Thank you!
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.
Just made some fudge and the butter has separated ? ? ?
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! ☺️
So easy and rich!
YESSS Kelsey!! Thank you for your feedback!
Done this recipe for 36 with exact ingredients. Why is it not going firm or hardening up in the fridge after 4 hours?
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?
Can I use distillate and how much!
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! ?
Can I add eggnog to this recipe
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!
I see it’s 1/4 butter, is that melted butter or room temp?
Thank you!
Hey Sonia, either option will work in this recipe 😀
