Cannabis Chocolate Chip Morsels
Overview
These chocolate morsels are portioned for controlled dosing, making them suitable for microdosing or incorporating into recipes. Each piece is designed to deliver a consistent, low-dose serving of cannabinoids.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tablespoon cannabis-infused MCT or coconut oil (approximately 43.75 mg THC total example potency)
- Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt
Equipment
- Double boiler or heat-safe bowl over a pot of water
- Silicone chocolate mold (approximately 40 to 50 cavities)
- Spatula or spoon
- Kitchen scale (optional for precision)
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Gentle heating helps preserve texture and cannabinoid integrity.
- Place chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.
- Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Avoid overheating and remove from heat once melted.
Step 2: Incorporate the Infusion
Even mixing is essential for consistent dosing.
- Add cannabis-infused oil to the melted chocolate.
- Stir thoroughly until fully combined and uniform.
- Mix in optional flavor ingredients if using.
Step 3: Portion and Chill
- Transfer mixture into a silicone mold, filling each cavity evenly.
- Use a mold with approximately 44 cavities for about 1 mg per piece based on the example potency.
- Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes or until fully set.
Step 4: Remove and Store
- Remove solidified morsels from the mold.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Keep in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for extended shelf life.
Estimated Potency
Example using 1 tablespoon infused oil at approximately 43.75 mg THC total:
- Total THC: approximately 43.75 mg
- Total yield: approximately 44 morsels
Approximate per serving:
- 1 morsel: approximately 1 mg THC
- 2 morsels: approximately 2 mg THC
- 5 morsels: approximately 5 mg THC
- 10 morsels: approximately 10 mg THC
Dosing Considerations
Potency is an estimate and may vary based on factors including infusion strength, mixing consistency, and mold size. Start with a small amount and allow sufficient time to assess effects before increasing the serving size.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container.
- Keep in a cool, dark place or refrigerate.
- Avoid heat exposure to prevent melting.
Additional Notes
- Effects may take 30 to 90 minutes to become noticeable.
- Can be used as an ingredient in baked goods or other recipes.
- Stir thoroughly during preparation to support even cannabinoid distribution.
Variations
- Substitute THC-infused oil with CBD-, CBG-, or CBC-infused oil for alternative cannabinoid profiles.
- Adjust mold size to change per-piece potency and recalculate dosing accordingly.
Common Preparation Issues
- Overheating chocolate: May affect texture and cannabinoid stability; use low heat.
- Incomplete mixing: Can result in inconsistent dosing; stir thoroughly.
- Inaccurate portioning: Use consistent mold sizes for predictable results.
- Skipping initial test serving: Evaluate a small portion before consuming additional servings.
