Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Tell the site how strong your butter or oil is and every recipe rewrites its ingredient amounts to match.

Chocolate covered pretzels

Salted pretzel rods dipped and set on parchment. Coverage is the whole job here, because the pretzel underneath is plain and the chocolate is the only part carrying anything.

Coconut haystacks

Mounds of toasted coconut bound in dark chocolate, set on a tray. Toasting the coconut first is not about color — untoasted shreds hold moisture, and moisture is what turns melted chocolate to sludge.

Dark chocolate sea salt bark

Two ingredients and one technique. Tempering is what gives bark its shine and its break, and the seed method gets you there with a bowl and a thermometer instead of a marble slab.

Mulled apple cider

Spiced cider warmed on the stove, with the infusion whisked in off the heat. A pot that serves a group, portioned into mugs rather than ladled freely.

No-bake peanut butter cups

Two layers, a muffin pan and a freezer. No oven, no smell, and the dose lives in the filling where you can measure it exactly.

Overnight oats

Assembled in a jar the night before, eaten cold. No heat anywhere in the process, which makes it the gentlest thing on the site for an infusion.

Peanut butter banana smoothie

Frozen banana and ground peanuts make a drink thick enough that oil has nowhere to rise to. The only real trick is the order things go into the blender.

Peppermint patties

An uncooked fondant of confectioners' sugar and coconut oil, chilled hard and dipped in dark chocolate. Firm centers are the whole game — a soft patty smears in the bowl and comes out a lumpy puddle.

Rocky road

Chocolate, marshmallows and nuts set in a pan and cut into squares. The marshmallows go in after the chocolate has dropped to barely warm, or they melt and the whole pan turns into fudge.
