Important Edible Safety Note
Cannabis edibles can take longer to feel than inhaled cannabis and may last longer. Potency depends on the cannabutter, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the serving size. Start with a low serving, wait before taking more, label infused foods clearly, and store them securely away from children, pets, and anyone who could mistake them for non-infused food. This recipe is for adults in places where cannabis use is legal; follow your local laws.
Ingredients
- 6 cups popped popcorn
- 2 tbsp cannabutter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 slices crispy bacon, chopped
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Saucepan or pot
- Mixing bowl
- Parchment paper
Before You Start
Measure the cannabutter before you start and decide on the serving count before the dish is assembled.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt cannabutter with sugar and syrup over medium heat. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Pour over popcorn and toss to coat. Mix in bacon and sea salt.
- Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F for 10 minutes.
- Cool until the coating is dry to the touch, then break into even clusters.
- Portion into 4 servings.
Dosing and Portioning Notes
Potency depends on the strength of your cannabutter, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the final serving size. If the cannabutter is not labeled with usable potency information, dosing cannot be calculated from the recipe alone. Use the listed 4 servings to plan measured portions, and calculate dose from the labeled infusion strength before eating.
Tips for Best Results
- Warm the cannabutter only enough to mix smoothly, and avoid high heat once it has been added.
- Mix the cannabutter thoroughly at the point the recipe adds it so the finished portions are easier to track.
Storage and Serving
Serve immediately. For safety, make only what you plan to serve and do not store infused leftovers.
Keep infused food counted, clearly labeled, and secured until serving. Do not leave infused food on counters, tables, or anywhere children, pets, or guests could reach it by accident. Discard anything that was left out, unlabeled, unattended, or cannot be clearly identified.
