Cannabis Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

When shopping for Halloween trick-or-treat candy, we all want to grab a pack of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Adults love this too, which is why a cannabis-infused version is absolutely a must-have for parents who are looking to have their own fun at this year’s trick-or-treat season. Follow this recipe when cooking cannabis peanut butter cups to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

Cannabis-Infused Salted Caramel Fudge Brownies

Salted caramel brownies and candies have grown in demand over the past years and the Halloween season calls for a proper spiked version. This easy Salted Caramel Fudge Brownies recipe requires basic baking ingredients, with the addition of premium cannabutter for that extra kick. Once all cooled, you can step up your cooking with cannabis game by decorating the pieces with Halloween-inspired candy finishes such as skulls, spiderwebs, and fangs. 

THC Candy Corn 

What is a stash of Halloween treats without candy corn? Adults love this classic Halloween candy, and lacing it with THC makes it even more inviting. This recipe takes one hour to make, and yields up to 100 pieces of spiked candy corn, making it an ideal choice when cooking with cannabis as a party favour. After they’ve all hardened, you can either place them all in a jar for the adults to indulge in, or keep them in a cool dry place as your personal stash! 

Cannabis Chocolate Chip Cookies 

You can’t go wrong with this classic treat, and when learning how to cook with cannabis for Halloween, this should definitely be on top of your list. Not only is it easy to prepare, but satisfying on all levels. You’ll just need half a cup of cannabutter and half a cup of normal, unsalted butter to stir in the good time. This recipe will feature around 10mg of THC per cookie, and you can always adjust the dosage based on your liking. 

Tips to Remember When Cooking With Cannabis for Halloween 

• Always opt for low-dose edibles – remember that you can always eat more if need be!
• Apply a 1:1 ratio for CBD and THC to get a balanced effect and even out the potency
• Use high-CBD and low-THC strains to get the muscle-relaxing benefits of CBD while enjoying a manageable dose of the psychoactive effects of THC.
• Be mindful of the ingredients you use. If possible, use gluten-free, low-fat, or organic ingredients to maintain a balance.
