Best Edible Recipes

If you’re into baking, or fancy yourself as a bit of an alchemist – Then making DIY edibles is for you! Crafting homemade edibles is great fun, and combines the enjoyment of baking with herbal highs. You can prepare your herbs exactly how you want them – both in terms of flavor and potency.

So how do you become the Bobby Flay of your own weed kitchen? The foundation of all edible recipes is crafting your own cannabutter (cannabis-infused butter) or cannabis oil. This is the building blocks of everything. Yet it’s simpler and more enjoyable than you might think!

How to Make Cannabutter and Cannabis Oil

The simplest way to blend your cannabis herb with butter is with a tool like the Levo C, the Levo 2 or the Magical Butter Botanical Extractor. These tools simplify the complex and precise process of making cannabutter – including decarboxylation, and activation!

Cannabutter is key for baking treats like pot brownies or marijuana cookies. Making cannabutter simply requires unsalted butter, water, and ground herb. We recommend that for every 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, you should use 7-10 grams of ground cannabis. As a cannabutter dosage guide, we recommend consuming 5mg-10mg of THC or CBD per serving as a starting dose. Remember, a little goes a long way, so dose with care and enjoy the ride!

Cannabis oil is just as simple to make. Instead of butter, you’ll blend your herb with olive oil, coconut oil or another carrier of your choice. Using an oil extraction kit does all the heavy lifting, so you don’t need to mess about with pots, pans and timers.

#1. Pot Brownies Recipe

Pot Brownies Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted cannabutter
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 3/4 cup of cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour
• Add nuts, choc chips or extras as desired!

Pot Brownies Instructions

• Preheat the Oven: Get that oven roaring to a toasty 350°F (175°C). Grease up a baking pan—you know, the square-ish kind.
• Mix Dry Stuff: In a bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour. Give it a little whisk to make sure it’s all buddies.
• Whisk It Up: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until they’re the best of pals. Now, fold in that glorious cannabutter.
• Mix Everything: Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix, stirring like you’re crafting a potion. Keep at it until you’ve got a smooth brownie batter that’s ready to party.
• Pan It Up: Pour that batter into your greased-up pan, smoothing it out like you’re icing a cake. Into the oven it goes for around 25-30 minutes. Keep a watchful eye; we want brownies, not bricks.
• Cool and Slice: Once a toothpick comes out clean from the center, let those brownies cool in the pan for a bit. When they’ve chilled out, transfer them to a wire rack and slice ’em up into squares.
• Chill and Enjoy: Now, the golden rule – start slow. These babies take time to kick in. So, nibble on one pot brownie, relax, and let the good times roll.

 

#2. Weed Gummies Recipe

Weed Gummies Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of fruit juice (something tasty like orange or berry)
• 1/4 cup of water
• 2 tablespoons of gelatin
• 3 tablespoons of honey (or more if you’ve got a sweet tooth)
• Weed-infused coconut oil or cannabis tincture

Weed Gummies Instructions

• Mix It Up: In a saucepan, mix together your fruit juice and water over medium heat. Don’t bring it to a boil; just get it warm.
• Gelatin Party: Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the juice-water mix. Let it sit for a minute to bloom and absorb the liquid.
• Sweeten the Deal: Stir in the honey, making sure it all blends smoothly. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Remember, we’re making gummies, not jawbreakers.
• Heat Things Up: Gently heat the mixture over low heat until the gelatin dissolves completely. We don’t want any lumps in our gummy brigade.
• Weed Time: Here’s where the magic happens. Add your cannabis tincture or weed-infused coconut oil. Stir it in until mixed thoroughly.
• Mold Magic: Pour the liquid gold into silicone molds. If you don’t have molds, a lightly greased dish works too. Pop it in the fridge and let the gummies set for a couple of hours.
• Unmold and Enjoy: Once they’re firm and ready, pop those gummies out of their molds. Or use a knife to cut them to small rectangles.
• Store and Share: Keep your gummies in the fridge – they’ll last longer, and the coolness adds to the experience!

 

#3. Space Cake Recipe

Space Cake Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted cannabutter
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• Frosting or sprinkles for topping

Space Cake Instructions

• Preheat the Spaceship: Fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ready your round cake pan for liftoff by giving it a light greasing.
• Sugar Galaxy Formation: In a bowl, beat the cannabutter and sugar until it’s a smooth, creamy vibe. Use an electric mixer if you’re feeling fancy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Vanilla Universe Blend: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is the dry team.
• Merge the Cosmic Forces: Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones, alternating with the milk. Stir until you’ve got a vanilla space batter that’s about to embark on a sweet adventure.
• Bake the Galactic Cake: Pour your interstellar batter into the greased-up cake pan. Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for around 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it; we’re aiming for a cake, not a black hole.
• Cool on the Launch Pad: Once a toothpick comes out clean from the center, let your vanilla space cake cool in the pan.
• Slice and Savor the Galactic Flavors: Transfer your space cake to a plate, slice it up, and enjoy the vanilla-infused cosmic ride. Add some sprinkles for the starry night finish.
• Prepare for Launch: These slices might take some time to elevate you to the stars, so buckle in and enjoy the vanilla space vibes. Be patient, and of course consume responsibly – no intergalactic shenanigans!

 

#4. THC Chocolate Recipe

THC Chocolate Ingredients

• Your favorite chocolate bars
• Cannabis oil
• Double boiler
• Molds (ice cube trays work too)
• Optional Extras: Flavorings, sea salt, or crushed nuts

THC Chocolate Instructions

• Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler. The steam from the boiling water will melt the chocolate without burning it. Use a low heat, keep stirring until smooth.
• Add Cannabis Oil: Stir in your cannabis oil. Use a ratio that matches your desired THC dose. Mix it well – you want an even spread of the good stuff.
• Flavor It Up: (Optional) Add a drop of vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, caramel drops or crushed nuts for that extra flair. Stir it all in.
• Pour Into Molds: Carefully pour your THC-infused chocolate mix into molds. Be precise if you want consistent doses.
• Cool and Set: Pop those molds in the fridge or freezer. Patience, my friend. Let them chill until solid.
• Pop ‘Em Out: Dose responsibly. Remember, these are chill treats, not a race. Start slow, especially if you’re new to the THC game. Share the good vibes responsibly!

 

#5. Firecrackers Recipe

Firecrackers Ingredients

• Graham crackers
• Peanut butter or Nutella
• Ground weed (decarbed for maximum effect)
• Aluminum foil
• Baking sheet

Firecrackers Instructions

• Get Baking: Preheat your oven to around 320°F (160°C). It’s the magic number.
• Prep Your Weed: Make sure your weed is decarbed. If not, pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes. This step activates the good stuff.
• Spread the Goodness: Lay out your graham crackers on a baking sheet. Smear a generous layer of peanut butter or Nutella on half of them.
• Sprinkle the Magic: Sprinkle your decarbed weed evenly on the peanut butter or Nutella. Be chill, no need to go overboard.
• Create the Sandwich: Put the other half of the graham crackers on top, making a little weed sandwich. Press them together gently.
• Wrap ‘Em Up: Individually wrap each firecracker in aluminum foil. Think of it as a cozy little blanket for your treats.
• Bake ‘Em: Pop your foil-wrapped goodies in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. This warms them up and activates the THC.
• Chill Out and Enjoy: Take them out and let them cool for a bit. Don’t rush – you’re on weed time now. Unwrap those bad boys and get ready for lift-off. Enjoy responsibly and savor the ride.
