- ¼ cup of cannabutter.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- ¼ tsp of salt.

Tools:

Instructions:
1. Prep Like a Pro: Grease your baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Measure your ingredients cuz this recipe moves quickly!
2. Melt Your Cannabutter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, add your cannabutter. Stir gently until it’s fully melted. Add the marshmallows and continue stirring until they’re smooth and gooey!
3. Mix in the Rice Krispies: Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow-cannabutter mixture.
💡 Pro Tip: Add a few drops of food coloring or some toppings during this step and mix well to get a colorful batch!
4. Press and Set: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Use a piece of parchment paper or greased hands to press it down evenly. Don’t squish too hard, you want them soft and chewy!
5. Cool and Cut: Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares or fun shapes. And voila, you’ve got your cannabis-infused Rice Krispies treats!
Tips For Better Cannabutter Rice Krispies
Want to make some seriously good weed-infused Rice Krispies Treats? These tips will help you get the perfect chewy, deliciousness every time!
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh marshmallows and crispy cereal are essential for that perfect chewy, airy texture. Stale ingredients will result in hard, dense treats.
- Melt Slowly and Gently: Use the lowest heat setting possible to melt your cannabutter and marshmallows. High heat can scorch your butter, ruining the flavor and potency.
- Prevent Sticking: Grease your tools (spatula, hands, or parchment paper) with butter or non-stick spray before mixing and pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Press Lightly: Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the dish. A gentle touch ensures they stay light, chewy, and easy to bite into.
- Work Quickly: Once the marshmallow mixture is ready, stir in the cereal and press it into the pan immediately to prevent the mixture from setting too soon.
Serving Suggestions
1. Layer the treats with your favorite fruit and yogurt to create a delicious and wholesome parfait.
2. A warm cup of hot chocolate complements the sweetness of the treats and provides a comforting contrast.
3. A cup of coffee, whether hot or iced, can provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the treats and enhance their flavors.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even the easiest recipes can go sideways. Feeling stuck on your cannabutter Rice Krispies? Don’t worry, let’s talk about how to fix problems you might have when making weed Rice Krispies.
Rice Krispies Are Too Hard
This often happens if the marshmallow mixture is overcooked or pressed too firmly into the pan. Use low heat and a gentle touch when pressing the mixture.
Uneven Texture
If some pieces are gooier than others, you might not have mixed the cereal and marshmallow mixture thoroughly. Stir quickly but evenly before it sets!
Krispies Flavor Feels Bland
Adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vanilla extract can enhance the taste. Also, ensure your cannabutter is fresh and properly infused.
Common Questions
