Tips before you start cooking
This is the first stage in all of the edible recipes, unless you’re using tinctures or concentrates that have already been decarboxylated. The goal is to decarboxylate your marijuana beforehand.
What does it imply? Cannabis that has been kept for a long time decarboxylates very slowly. When cannabis is fresh, decarboxylation occurs rather slowly. You may either bake your cannabis in the oven or leave it to a decarboxylation machine, which will complete the job for you.
When you decarb your marijuana, the conversion of THCA to THC occurs. This will make your edibles stronger and enhance their potency.
The procedure is straightforward. Simply mince your herb and spread it across a baking sheet before cooking it in the oven for 30 minutes. Let’s start with something everyone is familiar with: a holiday must-have. This Christmas dish is an old favorite that we’ll improve by including our favorite plant, but there’s no need to overthink things too much.
You will need:
- ½ cup of butter
- ½ cup of cannabutter
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cup of flour
- ¾ cup of nuts of your choice
- and more powdered sugar for rolling the snowballs in
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). In a mixing bowl, combine the normal butter with cannabutter and the ½ cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Combine the flour with nuts in a separate mixing dish until you have a dough.
Gradually combine the sweetened butter and dough. Form the dough into tiny balls and leave them for about an hour on a baking sheet in the oven. Once your oven is hot enough, bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them on a wire rack to cool down before rolling in powdered sugar. That’s all there is to it! It’s simple to make, yet tasty as well as nutritious because it includes cannabutter.
Cannabis-infused eggnog
When you hear the words “Christmas drink,” what comes to mind first? Well, here’s a simple recipe for this holiday beverage, with one unusual component: kief. Kief is a cannabis concentrate derived from cannabis bud flowers. Keep in mind that the amount we’re using is for experienced marijuana users. If you’re a novice, use a lower dose instead.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup of whipping cream
- 2 ounces of bourbon
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 gram of kief (for beginners half a gram)
- ½ cup of sugar
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- salt to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 250°F and then decarboxylate your weed for approximately 30 minutes. Fill a double boiler halfway with water next. Toss all of the components in the mixing bowl and mix them together until smooth. Allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
Pour your eggnog into bottles of your choice, then refrigerate them until ready to serve. This is a fantastic winter beverage that only gets better with the delicious kief inside.
THC-infused Christmas punch
Let’s move on to marijuana beverages a bit further, since they’re so delicious. This drink is required at every Christmas party, and we’ll add a THC tincture to increase its potency.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term “tincture,” it is a concentrated form of marijuana that incorporates all of the cannabinoids from some high-proof alcohol (might be vodka or whiskey).
Ingredients:
- 2 large oranges
- 2 bottles of sparkling wine, extra dry
- 5 cups of cranberry juice
- 2 cups of apple cider
- 2 cups of ginger ale
- 1 cup of fresh cranberries
- ½ cup of cannabis tincture
- 1 bag of ice cubes
Instructions:
You’ll begin by cutting the oranges as thinly as feasible, then combining them with fresh cranberries in a mixing bowl. Cover the fruit with an ice bag and gently combine everything together. Now add all of the remaining liquids, including the cannabis tincture, and mix them together. That’s all there is to it! Your sparkling punch is now ready to serve! Indulge yourself
Infused Hot chocolate on a stick
A lovely, festive holiday treat, this delicious infused hot chocolate on a stick is vegan, gluten-free, and adorable. We’ll use THC-infused oil for this recipe, but any oil will work (vegetable, canola, or coconut).
Ingredients:
- 450 grams of melted chocolate of your choice (dark chocolate is always a better option)
- 50 grams (¼ cup) of cannabis-infused oil

- ½ cup of cocoa powder
Instructions:
The first step is to combine the melted chocolate and the infused oil. To this mixture, add cocoa powder and powdered sugar. With a spoon, mix everything until it’s smooth. Pour the mixture into your preferred molds (we’re using cube molds since they’re simpler to melt later on).
Preheat the oven to 30 degrees Celsius. Place one cube in each silicone mold and allow it to set for about 45 minutes. Remove your cubes from the mold and place them on a serving plate at last, and you’re done. You may add any sprinkles or sea salt to your sweet chocolate on a stick as you see fit. Feel free to decorate your sweet chocolate on a stick however you like. Serve hot milk with the sticks when your guests arrive, and watch them melt into exquisite Christmas beverages. You’ll melt away after you’ve had enough of all that sweetness!
Cannabis marshmallows
We saved the best for last. What could be better than marshmallows and weed? It’s a classic. You may be shocked at how simple it is to prepare them and how delicious they are. Just keep in mind that these aren’t your typical marshmallows you’ll be burning on the fire. To begin, combine your favorite marijuana strain or cannabutter with some butter.
You will need only 2 tablespoons of butter.
The rest of the ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of gelatin
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of powdered sugar

Stir all the ingredients together with a whisk until they’re fluffy – a heavenly marshmallow paradise. If you’re stirring by hand, keep mixing for at least 20 minutes to avoid stopping.
You can now make your marshmallow mix as thick or thin as you like. Spread the mixture with powdered sugar on a cutting board and add any sprinkles or other decorations of your choice. Cut out the shapes and sizes that you like with a cookie cutter. They may also be sprinkled with confectioners’ icing or decorated however you wish. These delectable marshmallows are perfect for serving at any cupcake bar or hot chocolate stand.

Cookies without shortbread cookies aren’t worth eating. Shortbread is made with butter, one of the key components. If you don’t have cannabis-infused butter, now is the time to produce some. The recipe can be completed in advance and kept in the fridge until needed.

After they’ve been in the fridge for 2 hours, form them into a bowl and wrap with plastic wrap.
Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface with a rolling pin. It must be quarter-inch thick.
