Where the infusion goes

Prepare your cannabis coconut oil, then estimate the batch with the THC potency calculator. Use the strength of your own infusion rather than assuming a standard amount of THC.

Dose deliberately: potency depends on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the complete batch, divide evenly, label infused food clearly and keep it away from children and pets.

GATHER & MEASURE

Ingredients

For the cups

Dark chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salts and two coconut oil portions

The infusion goes into the filling, not the shell. Use creamy peanut butter and keep the filling away from the paper edges before adding the chocolate cap.

FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Melted dark chocolate coating the bottoms of paper muffin liners

    Melt & set the bases

    Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Melt the dark chocolate with plain coconut oil in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.

    Spoon about 1 tablespoon melted chocolate into each liner and tilt to cover the bottom. Freeze 8 minutes.

  2. Peanut butter filling being stirred with softened infused coconut oil

    Mix a uniform filling

    Stir peanut butter, infused coconut oil, powdered sugar, vanilla and fine salt until smooth and completely uniform.

  3. Peanut butter filling being portioned onto set chocolate bases

    Fill & cap with chocolate

    Divide the filling evenly among the cups, keeping it away from the paper edges. Cover with the remaining melted chocolate.

  4. A chilled peanut butter cup being removed from its paper liner

    Chill, finish & label

    Finish with flaky salt and chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Keep refrigerated and divide according to the 12 labeled portions.

Recipe FAQ

Questions about Dark Chocolate Cannabis Peanut Butter Cups

Can I use milk chocolate?

Yes, though the finished cups will be noticeably sweeter.

Why is my filling runny?

Natural peanut butter varies. Add powdered sugar a teaspoon at a time until the filling holds a soft mound.

Do these need refrigeration?

Yes. Refrigeration keeps the filling firm and the chocolate snappy.
