Making them does not take very long at all, they make for a good buzz, and they make for a great afternoon or night time snack, something heavy and sweet that everybody will enjoy.


3. Marijuana Cake

Now, the marijuana cake is not nearly as portable as a cookie or brownie, but they certainly taste great, not to mention that there is a whole lot of variety.

Whether you make a sweet apple cake, a pineapple turnover, a vanilla cake, a marble cake, or literally anything in between, as long as it has butter in the recipe, you can substitute it with Cannabutter to make a great cake that will hit you like a brick.

This is something which is recommended for gatherings and dessert. A pot cake is going to be fairly heavy.

Although not overly tasty, something which some people choose to do is to spread the cannabis butter directly on toast or bread.

It might not taste the best, but it is super cheap and easy to do, and it will still provide you with one heck of a buzz.

If you are a fan of the wake and bake, spreading your weed butter on toast is definitely an option.

Yeah, it tastes absolutely wonderful and makes for a really tender piece of meat. Now just imagine substituting the butter with cannabutter. It will create a well seared piece of meat that tastes amazing and will provide you with a bit of a buzz.

Beware that a steak is not going to absorb too much of the Cannabutter, but a little bit still.


8. Making Herb Butter

This is something you could do to make for steaks and other pieces of meat. By herb butter, we do not mean the marijuana in the butter, because that is already a given.

Here, we are talking about using various cooking herbs to make tasty and fragrant herb butter that you can use to top a grilled steak or other cut of meat after it has been grilled.

It adds great flavor and will definitely provide you with a bit of a high too.

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts of your choosing
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup cannabutter

Equipment Needed To Make Cannabutter Toffee

  • A small pot
  • Candy thermometer
  • Spatula
  • Wooden spoon
  • Large stock pot + water
  • Baking sheet
  • Wax paper

How to Make Cannabutter Toffee: Step by Step

If you follow the instructions as listed below, it won’t take very long to make your cannabutter toffee the right way.

  1. Take the cannabutter, unsalted butter, water, salt, and sugar, and pour it al into a small bot. Remember, you can always add a bit more butter and less cannabutter for stronger edibles. If you happen to be using salted butter, you can add a bit less salt.
  2. Melt all of the above ingredients together using low-medium heat. Constantly stir it with your wooden spoon to ensure that everything melts, and also so that nothing sticks or burns to the bottom of the pot. Don’t leave this mixture unattended.
  3. While you wait for everything to melt, get your baking sheet and cover it with a layer of wax paper, and at the same time, fill a large pot with cold water (you will use this to douse the toffee mix once it is done melting and cooking down).
  4. Allow the cannabutter toffee mixture to melt and cook on low heat until it starts to boil quite vigorously. Once the mixture boils, place the candy thermometer in the mixture. Now, you want to wait until the temperature reads 300 farenheit. This is how you know that the mixture is ready. Remember to keep stirring the mixture and scraping the edges of the pot so that nothing sticks and burns.
  5. Once the toffee is at 300 degrees, remove the small pot from the heat and place it in the large pot with cold water. This will cool the pot down quickly and cause the toffee to stop cooking.
  6. Take the mixture and pour it onto the baking sheet that is lined with wax paper. Make sure to manipulate the tray so that you get an even layer, but be careful to not burn yourself.
  7. Melt your chocolate chips using either the double boiler method or for 10 seconds in the microwave. Once your chocolate is melted, using a spatula, spread it evenly over the surface of the toffee.
  8. Place your toffee in the fridge. Once it is significantly cooled, for about 2 hours, sprinkle your chopped nuts on top. You can now cut the toffee into chunks as you see fit.
