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.

Buckeyes

Peanut butter fudge rolled into balls and dipped so a bare circle shows on top, the way the nut does. Cold, firm centers are what keep the filling out of the chocolate bowl.

Carrot cake cupcakes

Cupcakes solve the portioning problem a layer cake creates, and putting the infusion in the cream cheese frosting solves the heat problem — frosting is never cooked, so nothing is lost on the way.

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.

Classic hummus

Canned chickpeas, tahini and ice water blended pale and light. Nothing is heated at any stage, which makes it one of the gentlest carriers on this site, and a scoop is easy to measure.

Mexican street corn

Charred corn rolled in a mayonnaise and crema coating, then cotija and chili. The infusion lives in the coating and never goes near the fire, which keeps the whole thing simple and predictable.

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.

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.

Strawberry lemonade

Cold acidic water has nothing in it to hold oil, so infused fat beads up and rides on top. Infused sugar dissolves into the lemon juice instead and carries the dose in solution.

Whipped feta dip

Salty, thick and ready in five minutes. The oil goes in last and gets whipped right through, which is what keeps the dose even across a shared bowl.
