Cannabis Chocolates

[Danielsaaan]

Looking to turn my infused coconut oil into chocolates. What ratios do you guys recommend - oil to melted chocolate. Recipes online are all over the place. I’ve never made them before, but after attempting gummies, I feel like this is probably the easier route!
Appreciate any advice.

Don't you want to tailor the dosage with the oil/chocolate ratio, rather than go by some fixed ratio someone else used? If needed, you can do some dose-ranging ingestion studies (best to start at a presumed low dose).

Otherwise, I've made chocolate edibles using higher cocoa (such as 85%) chocolate bars or other harder (vs. softer, lower melting point) dark chocolates. I melt chocolate in oven at about 225˚F, mix-in the concentrate, let that bake for 40 minutes (for decarboxylation), pour/spread into small cube silicone chocolate/candy molds, then let the molds cool. Real simple. I generally target an estimated 8-10 mg THC/piece.

Adding Andes chocolate mint candies seems to improve, boost terpene taste (with menthol, a lower terpene, the main scent/taste component of mint).

How strong is the infused coconut oil?

When I made chocolates I used this calculator to work out dosage.

Was going to do 14g of Blue Microverse trim/larf per cup of coconut oil. Then 1/3c oil to 2c of melted chocolate? Does that sound okay? I wouldn’t know how to even guess the thc content in the sugar leaves and larf

Do you have a decarboxylator to infuse the oil?

For working out thc content I checked what the thc content of the strain I was using was and pretty much halved it when using trim and larf. e.g. if breeder states 20% I'd use 10% in my calculations.

If I was going to do it again I'd infuse as little coconut oil I could get away with as the more oil you use the harder it is to work with the chocolate.

I also tempered the chocolate so it came out shiny and didn't melt as easy. You need a certain quality of chocolate to do it.

The higher proportion of chocolate, the more more solid, non-oily it will come out. So use a good amount. Perhaps, keep in mind for reference that most chocolate bars are in the 100 gram range. So even if a normal dosage is somehow 25 gram or an oz., that's only 1/4 bar equivalent (easily consumed).

@Danielsaaan the problem with your query is the starting oil strength is an unknown, so ther is no way to answer your question.

When I started making medibles for my patients (ie stoners) I needed to be more consistent so I went to rosin as my actives additive. Rosin is on average 70% actives and the rest is wax and lipids. So if you grow a 1:1 THC:CBD strain then 1 gram of rosin will be ~350mg THC ~350 mg CBD These numbers are not exact because there are other actives in cannabis yet you will be consistent from batch to batch. My chocolate molds have 25 pieces so 700mg/25pices=28mg per piece of actives. I usually use 2g of rosin to make a bar so 56mg per piece. If you grow an all THC strain then that is 56mg THC. Depending on your tolerance level 1 piece will put you on your ass.

Nice video. Appreciate it!

I'm confused, when I make coconut oil my weed is already decarbed as I use the herboveb to mix it all. Why would you need to decarb for another 40 mins when the concentrate (coconut) has already been decarbed? Unless ive read that wrong through my cloudy wake n bake eyes lol

I've never made chocolate but do like my butter and cookies

I decarb my herb before infusing in oil too. Moulds I ordered should be here today. Looking forward to giving this a shot!
