How to Make Cannabis-Infused Christmas Toffee Bark
Supplies Needed:
- Sheet Pan
- Tin Foil
- Spatula
- Cooking Spray
- Medium Saucepan
Ingredients Needed:
- 40 Saltine Crackers
- 1 Stick of Regular Butter
- 1 Stick of Cannabutter (we highly recommend Sweet Grass Butter)
- 1 Cup of Brown Sugar (packed)
- 2 Cups of Semisweet Chocolate Chips (we recommend Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- 1/2 Cup of Holiday Sprinkles
- 1/2 Cup of mini M&Ms
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- If you are making your Christmas Bark with homemade cannabutter, make that before you begin anything else.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place all 40 saltine crackers in a single layer on the bottom of your baking sheet.
- Put both sticks of butter and your brown sugar into a medium saucepan. As the butter melts, stir until it's a smooth and creamy mixture, bringing it to a boil for 3 minutes.
- When you've brought your mixture to a boil, stir diligently again. This is a critical step for ensuring the cannabutter is properly infused throughout the mixture. If you don't properly infuse, the THC dosages will vary with each bite (and the subsequent effects will be unpredictable).
- Pour your brown sugar cannabutter mixture over the saltine crackers and spread with a spatula, so it coats evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and let it bake for three to five minutes (or until bubbling).
- Take the pan out of the oven and quickly sprinkle your chocolate chips evenly across the top of your bubbling Christmas Bark.
- Place the pan back in the oven for another two or three minutes, then take it out of the oven and spread the chocolate evenly over the top with a spatula.
- While still hot, scatter your sprinkles and M&Ms across the top of the melted chocolate.
- Let your Christmas toffee bark sit and cool.
If you want to serve your Christmas bark warm, serve it immediately. If you prefer it cold and more brittle, freeze or refrigerate for up to five days before serving. When you serve, cut it into even pieces to make sure the dosage is as even as possible for every bite. All you have left to do at that point is enjoy (the deliciousness and the effects)!
If you follow our instructions exactly, you'll have roughly 15 servings and a total of 100mg of THC. That's about 7.5mg of THC per piece if cut into 15 equal pieces. This is a responsible dosage for individuals new to cannabis or if you want a slight buzz. If you want to add more THC to the mix, you can absolutely do so at your discretion.
