How to Make Cannabis Chocolate Bars

Before we go into the rest of the detail, you need to understand that the process is pretty much straightforward, requires very minimal external support, and is easy to locate.

Do note that there is more than one recipe that you can use to arrive at the same result. However, the approach we have adopted for this guide is a quick and easy one – something you can easily replicate in your kitchen. Having said that, let's begin with the materials and ingredients you`ll need for the process.  

• 5 grams of quality weed or cannabis buds
• 120 grams of dark chocolate
• A parchment paper and baking sheet
• A saucepan
• A glass bowl
• Chocolate molds or ice cube tray
• A hand grinder
• A stove and an oven for heating

Directions

Step1: Select a suitable marijuana strain

First things first. You'll need to select the strain of marijuana that is best suited for you. Just let the budtender at the dispensary understand that you intend to make cannabis-infused chocolate bars.

At this point, you have the option of going for a THC strain that will elevate your senses and catapult you to ecstasy. Or, you can choose a CBD strain if you only want to enjoy the benefits of marijuana without getting stoned. 

Step 2: Decarboxylate your marijuana 

You cannot afford to miss this step. Decarboxylating your cannabis is as crucial as using the right kind of weed. Otherwise, you'll realize at the end that you do not have effective cannabis. Decarboxylation is just a fancy word that simply means using heat to activate the chemical substance in your cannabis bud.

The process converts the natural substance CBDA and THCA to the active substances in marijuana, CBD, and THC, respectively. Without the presence of THC in your weed, it's as good as smoking empty wee because it won't get you high. So grind the cannabis buds, not too finely, though, and place them on the parchment paper or baking sheet. Then carefully place the parchment paper inside the oven.  

While you`re getting the cannabis ready for the oven, preheat it to about 240°F, then bake the cannabis for about 35 minutes. You may turn the sheet around during this process to ensure the heat spreads evenly through your cannabis. You`ll know that the decarboxylation is finished when the color of the marijuana turns toasted but not burnt.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

Place a bowl on top of your saucepan and ensure that the bowl is only touching the tip of the saucepan. Now pour hot water into the saucepan without filling it. Place the pan on the stove. Break up the chocolate bars into several little bits and place them in the bowl.

Heat the pan on medium heat until all the chocolate melts. Stir the chocolate to assist the melting process. The water should be simmering and not boiling. This is called the “double-boiler” or “bain-marie” arrangement.

Step 4: Infusion of marijuana into the chocolate

Add the ground cannabis to the chocolate and continue string until the mixture assumes an even texture and look.

Step 5: Pour the marijuana-infused chocolate into the molds

For this stage, you can either use the ice cube tray or purchase chocolate molds. Pour the blended mixture of cannabis and chocolate into the molds and allow it to cool and set. You can also get a sizable block-like container where you can pour the chocolate.

Once it sets, you can cut the block into smaller units, but this might be difficult. Gently hit the bottom of the molds on the kitchen counter-top to allow trapped air to escape from the milds.

Step 6: Refrigerate your marijuana chocolate bars and eat them as you go.

To further speed up the hardening process, you can transfer the molds into the refrigerator. Typically, in 15 minutes, the chocolates would have set. It may take a little longer, depending on the type of chocolate you are using.  

Now, your marijuana chocolate bars are ready for your consumption. Be careful with them though, as edibles can be quite psychoactive. You should start low and go slow. For best results, you should use high-quality chocolate just as you used top-shelf weed.
