How to Make Cannabis-Infused Chocolate Bars
A Delicious, Discreet Treat for the Thoughtful Toker
Chocolate and cannabis — two of life’s finest pleasures. And when you combine them? That’s edible bliss.
Cannabis-infused chocolate bars are an easy, effective, and versatile way to enjoy your favorite strains without lighting up. Whether you’re microdosing for focus or mellowing out after a long day, this guide will walk you through how to make your own infused chocolate bars at home, the Mr. Nice way — thoughtfully, ethically, and with just the right amount of indulgence.
Why Chocolate?
Aside from tasting incredible, chocolate makes the perfect vehicle for cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Thanks to its high fat content, chocolate binds beautifully with cannabis compounds — which means great absorption and a reliable high when dosed correctly.
Plus, it’s:
- 🍫 Discreet
- 🍫 Long-lasting
- 🍫 Easy to portion out and store
Infused chocolate bars also let you combine wellness with ritual — a daily square, a shared bite with a friend, or a post-workout wind-down treat.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 100–200g high-quality dark, milk, or white chocolate (choose what you love)
- ½–1 gram of cannabis per 100g chocolate (adjust depending on potency)
- 1–2 tsp coconut oil (optional, improves consistency)
- Optional: sea salt, chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, dried fruit
Tools:
- Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
- Silicone chocolate molds (or ice cube trays)
- Cheesecloth or fine strainer
- Baking tray & parchment paper (for decarbing)
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
Cannabis doesn’t become psychoactive until it’s been decarbed. This process activates the THC and CBD so it can be absorbed in the final product.
How to Decarb:
- Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C)
- Break up your cannabis (not too fine)
- Spread evenly on a parchment-lined tray
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through
When it’s fragrant and lightly golden, it’s ready to infuse.
Step 2: Infuse Your Chocolate
Option 1: Infuse Butter or Coconut Oil
If you want more even potency or to make larger batches later, consider infusing coconut oil with your decarbed cannabis first. (Same method as making cannabutter — simmer low for 2–3 hours, then strain.)
Option 2: Direct Infusion
Short on time? Gently heat your chocolate using a double boiler (don’t burn it!) and stir in finely ground decarbed cannabis directly. Add coconut oil for better consistency and absorption.
Either way, stir slowly and thoroughly to keep the chocolate smooth.
Step 3: Pour & Chill
Once your chocolate is evenly mixed:
- Pour into silicone molds or a parchment-lined tray
- Tap gently to remove air bubbles
- Sprinkle with any toppings (salt, nuts, etc.)
- Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour
Once hardened, remove from the mold and store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
Dosing Tips
Start small. Even if you’ve got a high tolerance from smoking, edibles hit differently.
- If you’re new to cannabis or to edibles, aim for 5–10mg THC per square
- Wait at least 90 minutes before having more
- Store your bars safely away from kids, pets, or unsuspecting snackers!
