There’s nothing better than a mitt-ful of cannabis infused dark chocolate.

First, you’ll need to make cannabis infused butter or ghee.

After that, if you can boil water and stir like you mean it, you’ve got this easy to execute recipe.

Here’s the directions from a previous post on the infusion part:

Ingredients:

1 cup of dark chocolate wafers (I used 72%.)
3 tbsp of infused cannabis butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Spend the money and use the real stuff. You skimp on ingredients (at this point) and you’re dead to me.
I’m not joking. There’s a few things in life that shouldn’t be fake and vanilla extract is one of those things.- Rebecca Ryan

1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp of ground cardamom
36 dried cranberries

Directions:

  • Bring the water to a gentle boil in a double boiler or bain-marie. Shut the flame off and melt the butter, making sure not to burn or scorch it.

  • Keep stirring. Just when you think you’ve got everything evenly folded in, stir it for another minute longer. The butter and spices need to be evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  • Pour the infused chocolate mixture into moulds and fill each, halfway full.

  • Insert one dried cranberry in the middle and fill to the top of the mould with chocolate. The cranberry will be completely covered by the chocolate.

  • This recipe yields 36 small pieces.

  • Refrigerate for 8 hours to let the chocolate harden.

  • Small buds and trim work well for infusing butter and you want to aim for a finished piece that’s just a little bigger than a quarter.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much @magnata! Lol!, I’m not sure on the golden part but they can do many diverse things...mostly I just try to keep them out of trouble. Haha!

An excellent recipe, my friend, and I should note that your chocolate is very suitable for the upcoming holidays. Well done! Thanks Rebecca

Thought I’d better get some chocolate on the go @serkagan ...some things just go together like chocolate that’s just a little Merrier for the festive season. Lol!

This is for sure going on our weekly recap! Thank you my Canna Queen ;)

Ah, shucks...thank you for being such a sweetheart, Jon. ;)

Maybe I am, but only because you deserve to be treated like such ;)

She is not kidding about the vanilla extract. There is no compromising with Rebecca.

Lol! No, I won’t, when it comes to quality ingredients. ;)

Chocolate lover and cannabis seeker's will feel good to see this recipe, they can take both taste of yummy chocolate with the benifit of cannabis.

You're so right about Vanilla extract, especially since artificial vanilla comes from beaver butts!!!

Thanks to @paradigmprospect, this post was resteemed and highlighted in today's edition of The Daily Sneak.

Thank you for your efforts to create quality content!

Hi @rebeccaryan!

This is how recipes need to be. Super simple with lots of excellent photos to aid me.

Quick question. We have a lot of coconut canna butter in the freezer that needs to be converted to edibles. Do you find the final product is solid at room temperature, since you've added oil to the chocolate? We'll likley store in the freezer, but want to know what to tell friends that get these as gifts.

Thanks!

You won't have any trouble using coconut oil, unless you use a ton of it compared to how much chocolate you've got. And then, if you used dark chocolate (no milk), your edibles are vegan :)
Check out MCTs for more information.

Great pics. :) Just a note to add that coconut oil would work instead of butter. It also has a really good absorption profile and gets the medicine where it's needed. Something about those medium chain triglycerides.
Edibles rock! Start low and go slow :)

Too bad edibles knock me out of my socks ;) If I ever try that again it shall be dark chocolate, they look amazing <3
