How to Make Cannabis Matcha Cocoa Rice Bites

Ingredients:

• 20g rice puffs or crushed rice cakes.
• 50g vegan dark chocolate.
• ½ tbsp cannabis coconut oil.
• Pinch of pink salt.
• 60g Greek yogurt (or thick vegan yogurt).
• 60g organic raw peanut butter.
• Cinnamon (optional).
• 20g rice puffs or crushed rice cakes.
• 50g vegan white chocolate.
• ½ tbsp cannabis coconut oil.
• 1½ tsp matcha powder (sifted).

Tools:

• Sifter.
• Spatula.
• Microwave-safe bowls.
• Whisk or spoon for stirring.
• Silicone or lined muffin tray.

Instructions:

1. Make the matcha layer: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate with ½ tbsp cannabis coconut oil (use 20-second intervals or a double boiler). Sift in the matcha powder and mix well using a whisk or spoon. Add 20g rice puffs and stir until fully coated. Set aside.

2. Prepare the chocolate base: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate with the remaining ½ tbsp cannabis coconut oil. Stir in the remaining rice puffs and a pinch of pink salt. Mix until coated and set aside.

3. Whip the creamy middle layer: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and a dash of cinnamon (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the bites: Grab your silicone or lined muffin tray and start layering: Spoon the dark chocolate-covered rice puffs into the bottom of each cup to form the base layer, next add a dollop of the yogurt-peanut butter mixture for the creamy middle and finish with the matcha-white chocolate rice puffs as the top layer!

5. Chill and enjoy: Pop the tray into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm. Once set, remove the bites from the tray, serve, and enjoy!

Tips For Better Cannabis Matcha Cocoa Rice Bites

Getting the perfect muffins every time is all about technique and attention to detail. Here are a few tips to help you achieve consistently delicious results:

• Melt Chocolate the Right Way: Use a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate or microwave it in 15-20 second bursts, stirring frequently. This prevents burning and gives you smooth, creamy chocolate.
  
  
• Even Coating Matters: When mixing the rice puffs with the chocolate, use a silicone spatula to fold them in gently. This helps coat every puff evenly while keeping their crisp texture intact.
  
  
• Line Your Tray: If you don’t have a silicone muffin tray, make sure to line a regular tray with parchment paper or cupcake liners. This ensures easy removal of the bites without any sticking mishaps.
  
  
• Perfect Your Matcha Layer: For a bold matcha flavor, sift the matcha powder into the white chocolate to remove lumps, then whisk it thoroughly before adding the rice puffs. Adjust the amount to your taste!
  
  
• Chill for the Best Texture: While 1 hour is the minimum chill time, letting the bites sit overnight in the fridge allows the flavors to meld beautifully and gives the chocolate layers a firm, satisfying snap.

Happy Cooking!
