They say that sloth is the mother of innovation but in this case it was desperation to make a good impression. Long story short but I was offered a job writing for a new website called The fresh toast and my editor invited me to the west coast launch party.
Mise en place
This wasn’t a bunch of nerds gathered around a computer in someone’s basement, this was a big shit event at a ballroom in downtown Seattle, a suite and tie type of thing. I was determined to make an impact and somehow not do anything stupid. While I might have been a bit out of my element, both my editor and publisher went out of there way to make me feel welcome. Having 4 dozen of these to pass out to the crowd also helped.
Mise En Place
- A large pot
- A small pot
- A large mixing bowl that sits on top of the pot
- A whisk
- A rubber spatula
- Silicon molds (see notes)
Ingredients
- 20 ounces of milk or dark chocolate
- 5-10 ounces of cannabis butter depending on how strong the butter is and how strong you want the final product to be.
- Cannabis sugar cookie crumbs (optional)
- A dash of chili powder (see note)
Method of Preparation
- Fill the pot about halfway with water and set to simmer on the stove
- You’re cooking at home, it doesn’t have to be perfect
- Pour the chocolate chips in the bowl and set on top of the large pot with water.
- Let the chocolate melt while melting the butter in the smaller pot
- Once both the chocolate and butter melt, slowly add the butter to the chocolate whisking well
- Add the cookie crumbs and chili powder and then pour into the molds
- Let em set in the fridge for a few hours or even better, overnight.
- You can wrap them in foil if you’re giving them away or just keep em in your fridge for a quick pick me up.
Notes
- I like dark chocolate but you can also use milk chocolate or a combination of both.
- I added the sugar cookie crumbs for a bit of texture and a little extra kick but you can feel free to add chopped nuts or even dried fruit.
- Silicone molds. These are great to have in the Kitchen and I used ice cube trays I got a the local grocery store but you can find them in all kinds of shapes and sizes on amazon and they’re not too expensive for how long they last.
