Weed Peanut Butter Cup Recipe

Try this easy weed peanut butter cup recipe made with chocolate, peanut butter, and infused coconut oil. Perfect homemade edible for dessert or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp cannabis-infused coconut oil, divided (plus more if adjusting potency)
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Melt The Chocolate
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1½ tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside.

Step 2: Make The Peanut Butter Filling
In another bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and the remaining 1½ tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil. Mix until the filling is smooth and well blended. If you want to increase potency, you can add an extra teaspoon of infused oil here — just mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Prepare The Cups
Line a mini muffin tin with 15 paper liners. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner and gently tap the pan to level it out. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the bottom layer firm up.

Step 4: Add The Peanut Butter Layer
Once the chocolate layer has set, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each cup. Gently flatten it with the back of a spoon.

Step 5: Seal With Chocolate
Spoon another teaspoon (or more, if needed) of the remaining melted chocolate over the top of each peanut butter layer. Tap the pan again to smooth the tops.

Step 6: Chill And Set

Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set and firm to the touch.Step 7: Serve And Store
Once set, your weed peanut butter cups are ready to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture.
