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.

Caramel corn

Baked low to set the caramel, then finished with infused butter off the heat. Most versions stir the infusion into boiling caramel and then bake it for 45 minutes, which throws away a good share of what you made.

DessertStandard

Chocolate sheet cake

A thin sheet cake cut into a grid, which makes it the easiest cake to dose accurately. The frosting carries the infusion so none of it goes through the oven.

Crispy rice cereal treats

No oven and about ten minutes of work. The marshmallow goes on the heat, the infusion goes in after, and the whole thing lives or dies on how evenly you press the pan.

Movie night popcorn

Popped in plain oil, dressed in infused oil afterward. Popping temperatures are far too hot for an infusion, which is why almost every recipe that pops in cannabutter wastes most of it.

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.

Spinach artichoke dip

A hot, savory dip for a table where nobody wants dessert. The infused oil is folded in before it goes to the oven and the bake is short and gentle.

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.
