How to Make Cannabis Chocolate the Easy Way
Both chocolate and cannabis release feel-good chemicals in your brain. Also, chocolate makes cannabis more palatable by smoothing out the flavor. So, why do people love it so much? Once you try it, you will know.
Ingredients
The ingredient list for this recipe is short. You will need chocolate and cannabis. You can use finely ground decarboxylated cannabis or activated cannabis tincture. Use chocolate chips or baking chocolate of your choice.
Decarboxylate Cannabis For Making Chocolate
In order to decarboxylate cannabis, break dry cannabis into small pieces, spread out evenly on a baking tray and put into a 240°F preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Place decarbed cannabis into a coffee/spice grinder or use mortar/pestle and grind to a fine powder.

Heat baking chocolate or chocolate chips in a bowl placed on top of a pot of hot water. The bowl must have a larger diameter than the pot to prevent water from contaminating the chocolate. Do not cover the bowl when heating chocolate.
Once the chocolate melts and has a runny consistency, add the ground decarbed cannabis or activated tincture. Mix very well. Continue to heat gently until you have a smooth pourable consistency.
Pour into chocolate molds being careful not to get any water in the chocolate. Let chocolates cool at room temperature.
Store chocolate in a cool, dry place 65 to 68°F with humidity under 55%. The chocolate will remain stable for months.

You can add lecithin granules to chocolate to improve the viscosity of your chocolate.
Moisture and chocolate do not mix. Never add water, honey, syrup or vanilla extract when making chocolate. The chocolate will seize, thus it will not flow into molds.

I’m wondering how much ground pot would you start out trying in the 300 g of chocolate? 2g, 7 g or 14 g? I don’t want to waste any by using too much or too little. Also, how much lecithin would you add to 300g chocolate? Thanks for your advice. Maggie
It depends on how many servings you want to make and how strong you want the chocolates to be. I usually use 3 grams cannabis for 12 chocolates that are 22 mL and end up with about 40 mg THC per chocolate depending on the potency of the weed. I don’t use lecithin in chocolate because I don’t think it makes edibles stronger.
Hi- I just made the chocolate candy recipe.
Is it ok to keep in freezer?
I keep my regular chocolate in freezer, love it cold
If you like to eat cold chocolate, go right ahead and throw it in the freezer. Cold temperatures slow down the natural degradation of THC, so potency should maintain for a longer period.
How much tintures. Or oil. Do you use or one batch
Thank you, that was really helpful ☺
Love the article, i just want to know, how much decarbed cannabis do I need?
The amount of cannabis used in any recipe depends on how potent you would like each serving to be. Keep in mind the number of servings and the potency of your cannabis when dosing your edibles.
