Cannabis coconut oil is a blend of coconut oil and cannabis, typically used to create edibles. The fats in coconut oil help to extract cannabinoids from the cannabis plant, making it a potent and effective medium for infusing cannabis. This oil can then be used in various recipes, including chocolates, baked goods, and more.

To make your cannabis coconut oil chocolates, gather the following ingredients:

14 oz quality coconut oil (solid at room temperature)
28 g quality cannabis (your choice of strain)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 1/4 cup of additional coconut oil for a creamier texture
Mini-ice cube silicone molds or similar for shaping your chocolates

Step 1: Prepare the Cannabis

Chunk the Cannabis: Cut your cannabis into dime-sized chunks. Avoid grinding, as this can damage the trichomes and affect the flavor.
Blanch (Optional): To reduce the 'green' taste, blanch the cannabis by submerging it in boiling water for 5 minutes, followed by ice water for another 5 minutes.

Step 2: Decarboxylate the Cannabis

Preheat your oven to 220°F (104°C).
Spread the prepared cannabis on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. This process activates the THC, making it psychoactive.

Step 3: Infuse the Coconut Oil

Place the decarboxylated cannabis into a French press.
Warm your coconut oil until it’s liquid. Pour it over the cannabis in the French press.
Place the French press in a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and let it simmer for 6 hours, checking the water level every 30-60 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Chocolates

After 6 hours, press down the French press to separate the oil from the plant material. Store the infused oil in a jar and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
In a double boiler, combine 1/4 cup of cannabis-infused coconut oil with 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 5 minutes until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into your molds and freeze for 20-30 minutes until set.

Step 5: Enjoy Responsibly

Once your chocolates are solid, pop them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Remember to start with a small dose and wait for the effects before consuming more, as edibles can be potent.

Adjust Potency: Increase the amount of cannabis or coconut oil to make stronger chocolates.
Add Flavor: Enhance your chocolates with vanilla extract, sea salt, or your favorite nuts and seeds.
Experiment with Sweeteners: If you prefer a healthier option, substitute maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit.

Making cannabis coconut oil chocolates at home is not only a fun and creative process but also allows you to control the potency and ingredients of your edibles. With the combination of coconut oil and cannabis, you can create a delicious treat that offers both enjoyment and therapeutic benefits. Always remember to consume responsibly and enjoy your homemade delights!
