1) Cannabis-Infused Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cannabutter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Decorative green sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies (Envato)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Cannabis-Infused Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened cannabutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg, mint extract, and vanilla extract until well combined. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a vibrant green color.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in Mint Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mint chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
7. Bake: Getting baked is always the best part, right? Put the dough balls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, decorate with green sprinkles or edible glitter while the cookies are still slightly warm.
9. Enjoy!: Once the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container. Remember to enjoy these cannabis-infused treats responsibly and be mindful of the potency of the cannabis used in the recipe.
2) Pot of Gold Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cannabutter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Edible gold dust or gold sprinkles for decoration
St. Patrick's brownies (Envato)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Melt Cannabis-Infused Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the cannabis-infused butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted cannabis-infused butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour Batter into the Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Add Caramel Swirls: Heat the caramel sauce until it's slightly runny. Drop spoonfuls of caramel onto the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to create swirls by dragging it through the caramel and brownie batter
7. Bake: Bake (heh) in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The baking time may vary, so start checking around 25 minutes.
8. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer them to a cutting board using the parchment paper overhang.
9. Decorate with Gold Dust: Sprinkle edible gold dust or gold sprinkles over the top of the brownies to create a "Pot of Gold" effect. Press them gently into the caramel for better adhesion.
10. Cut and Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Each square represents a delicious "pot of gold" for your St. Patrick's Day celebration.

4) Leprechaun's Delight Gummies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil
1 cup fruit juice (such as green apple or lime for a St. Patrick's Day theme)
1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
1/4 cup gelatin
Gummy molds (shamrock or leprechaun hat shapes for a festive touch)
Edible green food coloring (optional)
Cornstarch or sugar for dusting the molds (to prevent sticking)
St. Patrick's shamrock-shaped green gummies (Envato)
Instructions
1. Prepare Gummy Molds: Making gummies is always fun! Lightly dust the gummy molds with cornstarch or sugar to prevent the gummies from sticking.
2. Heat Fruit Juice: In a small saucepan, heat the fruit juice over low to medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer, but do not boil.
3. Add Sweetener: Once the juice is warm, stir in the honey or agave syrup until it dissolves completely.
4. Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over the warm juice mixture and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom. Gently stir to ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved.
5. Infuse with Cannabis Coconut Oil: Add the cannabis-infused coconut oil to the juice and gelatin mixture. Stir thoroughly until the oil is well incorporated. If desired, add a few drops of edible green food coloring for a festive touch.
6. Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve to remove any undissolved gelatin particles.
7. Fill Gummy Molds: Carefully pour the infused mixture into the prepared gummy molds. Be sure to fill each mold evenly.
8. Chill: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let the gummies set for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, carefully pop the gummies out of the molds. If they are sticking, you can use a toothpick to gently lift the edges.
9. Store: Store the Leprechaun's Delight Gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Label the container clearly to indicate that the gummies are infused with cannabis.
10. Enjoy Responsibly: Consume these weed gummies responsibly, keeping in mind the potency of the strained you choose.
