Homemade Fall Party Treats

The modern cannabis industry has seen an explosion of infused cooking and baking ingredients. Since most of these infused ingredients can’t be sold outside of the states where they’re created, shop around online to see what you can find in your area.

In past decades, cannabutter was the standard homemade infused baking ingredient that nearly everyone relied on for baking infused cookies and brownies.

Cannabutter is very easy to make, and all you need is cannabis flower and butter. Numerous recipes exist online for cannabutter to guide you in its creation before you begin to make your fall baked masterpieces. Other infused baking ingredients include cannaflour, which is another great ingredient for baked goods.

Sugar Cookie Decorating

Cannabis sugar cookies provide a great canvas for creative designs with frosting. They also lend themselves to fun shapes if you choose to use cookie cutters. All that Halloween cookie shapes like bats and pumpkins require is frosting.

With a little bit of creativity, you can transform your circular cookies into scary bloodshot eyeballs or spiderwebs. Let your imagination run crazy and have fun with your decorating.

There are many ways to express yourself with Halloween cookie decorating. Orange, white, and black make perfect frosting colors at this time of year. Sugar cookies are a great way to show off your creative side. Add M&Ms, hot cinnamon dots, or sprinkles to take your cookie designs to the next level.

If you or your party guests have kids, be sure to make some regular (not cannabis-infused) cookies for them as well. Just be sure to separate the kids’ treats from the adults’ cookies, keeping the latter safely out of reach of little cookie-grabbing hands. There’s no reason that grownups should have all the fun!

There are over 300,000 jobs in the cannabis industry. CTU trained me for one of them!
