Process of Making Weed Chocolates

There are more options than ever when it comes to edibles, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for personalization. You can have greater control over the potency, cannabinoid ratios, flavor combinations, and appearance of your edibles when you learn how to make cannabis chocolate for yourself. Maybe you’ve always wanted to discover a 1:1 edible that has high amounts of both CBD and THC, or maybe you just want your cannabis to be shaped like a dinosaur. The sky’s the limit once you learn how to create marijuana chocolates at home.

Reasons for cannabis chocolates:

1-Simplicity

Chocolate edibles are simple to prepare because they only require a few supplies and no baking or cooking skills. The most difficult step is tempering the chocolate, but even that may be mastered with a little study.

2-Consistent dose

Chocolates are far easier to make than other DIY edibles that require uniform mixing in order to maintain dosage accuracy. With the method we’re providing, all you need is a favorite cannabis tincture and the ability to read dosing instructions on the bottle. Adding the tincture to each chocolate rather than combining a certain quantity to the whole batch ensures that each chocolate has the exact strength you desire.

3-Complimentary chemicals

Cacao is a plant, like cannabis. However, the striking parallels don’t end there. Chocolate eating has effects that are comparable to smoking marijuana — albeit far more subdued. That’s because cacao beans create anandamide, a chemical that binds with the human brain in the same way as THC does, resulting in euphoric feelings. It’s no surprise that chocolate and cannabis have a strong connection.

Tempering

Tempering and candy-making are the two phases of creating marijuana chocolates. Tempering chocolate may appear complicated, but it’s all about ensuring that the chocolate is evenly melted without overcooking it. This has a lot of science behind it, with crystal structures and exact temperatures that you can learn about in depth here. But if you use a plastic bowl and patience, you may produce perfectly tempered chocolate without having to resort to a double boiler.

What is the difference between untempered and tempered chocolate, and how can you tell whether your chocolate has been properly tempered? When the chocolate cools and hardens, it will have a glossy sheen to it and snap when broken. Melting at room temperature is more likely, as well. When improperly tempered chocolate (or fake chocolate created with emulsifiers rather than cocoa butter) is cooled and set, it will look dull and may melt more readily. In terms of chocolate varieties to use, we suggest working with dark chocolate since it is the simplest to melt and shape, whereas white chocolate is the most difficult. Unless real cocoa butter is included in chocolate chips, they are not suggested for making chocolate.

The bottom line is to look for cocoa butter in the list of ingredients and keep the chocolate at a low temperature when melting it.

Process to produce cannabis chocolate

The tempering phase has two distinct parts: the annealing and cooling phases.

  1. Chop the chocolate. 
  2. Heat the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. 
  3. Stir the chocolate completely.
  4. Heat again for another 30 seconds. 
  5. Stir thoroughly.
  6. Repeat the process 
  7. Stop heating and continue stirring the chocolate until it is completely melted.

Steps to make candy:

  1. Oil or cannabutter may be used to coat chocolate molds for an extra punch.
  2. Fill the molds halfway with melted chocolate.
  3. Add a few drops of tincture to each mold, filling the same quantity in each.
  4. Add anything from chopped nuts to dried fruits or potato chips.
  5. Fill the other molds with melted chocolate.
  6. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
  7. Pop the chocolates out of the molds.
  8. Enjoy the choco-weed candy

Storage tips

Keep homemade cannabis chocolates in an airtight container in a cool, dry location to store them properly and maintain the flavor and potency. Keep your chocolates away from light to avoid them from melting or going bad. When filled with various fillings, your chocolates should keep for weeks or longer if kept correctly.
