Ingredient Notes
- Strawberries: I highly recommend you wash and dry your strawberries a day before making this recipe. The strawberries cannot have any water on them at all, or the chocolate will seize up and turn into a clumpy, pasty mess.
- Melting Chocolates: Options that work include chocolate chips, melting chocolates, and bars of chocolate. If you want to make this recipe vegan, choose vegan chocolate chips like Enjoy Life options.
- Cannabis-Infusion of Choice: this will depend on which method you pick.
You only need to choose one method, and you should choose depending on what product you already have on hand:
Option #1 - Infused With Concentrates:
Cannabis concentrates like FECO/RSO, distillate, wax, shatter, and more - your choice, but you only need one.
Option #2 - Infused With Decarbed Flower or Kief:
Ground, decarbed cannabis flower or decarbed kief - your choice, but you only need one.

The Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1 - Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Step 2 - Wash and dry your strawberries well. Set them aside.
- Step 3 - Fill the bottom portion of a double boiler with water. Add the top portion and place over medium-low heat.
- Step 4 - Once simmering, add the melting chocolate and place the lid on.
- Step 5 - Allowing the chocolate to melt slowly. Steam from the bottom pan will heat the chocolate gently.
- Step 6 - Stir occasionally until the chocolate is mostly melted, about 5 minutes.
- Step 7 - Stir in your concentrates or decarbed flower. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
- Step 8 - Once everything is incorporated, turn off the heat.
- Step 9 - Gently dip the strawberries into the chocolate, letting the excess chocolate run off before setting on the lined baking sheet.
- Step 10 - Sprinkle decarbed flower, edible rose petals, white chocolate, or other garnishes over the chocolate while it is still wet.
- Step 11 - Repeat until all strawberries are covered. Allow the chocolate to set, about 10 minutes.
- Step 12 - Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for future use.

Notes and Expert Tips
- Wash and dry your strawberries a day before making this recipe. The strawberries cannot have any water on them at all, or the chocolate will seize up.
- My method of melting chocolates involves using the double boiler, but a lot of people report liking to use their microwave to melt chocolate. This is OK - BUT - do not microwave the chocolate if your infusion option is in it - it 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.
Storage Instructions
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Please note, these are best if enjoyed right away.
