Equipment Needed

You can make your own at home using decarboxylated CBD flowers. To learn how to make it, you can follow this recipe on making CBD olive oil, and replacing the olive oil with butter or coconut oil for a sweeter taste.

Instructions

To make this recipe, you will need to make CBD infused butter first. It’s quick and simple to make if you already have the CBD isolated oil. Skip this part if you decide to follow the CBD olive oil recipe.

Making CBD Infused Butter

We highly recommend calculating the potency before making the recipe. The CBD oil package should have serving guides. Measure the mg of CBD isolate you are going to use when infusing it with the butter.

• Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat on low and add the butter to the double boiler’s top half.
• Stir until the butter melts. Then, add the CBD isolate. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes to ensure the isolate is thoroughly blended. Make sure the butter never comes to a boil.

An alternative way to easily measure your dosage is by using a scale. Aim to use a minimum of 0.1g, which is equivalent to 100mg of CBD.

How to Make CBD Rice Crispy Treats

• Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment using your non-stick spray. Set aside.

• In a saucepan over low heat, add the melted CBD-infused butter.

• Add in the miniature marshmallows and stir until they melt and blend with the butter.

• Keep stirring the mixture constantly for two minutes.

• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt immediately.

• Next, add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the grain looks all well-coated.

• Transfer the mixture to the previously prepared baking pan with a buttered spatula, spreading the mix evenly to fit into a 9×13-inch pan.

• Press down very gently. If you compact it with force, your treats will be thin and hard.

• Set for at least 1 hour at room temperature.

• Once cooled, cut into twelve 2x2 inch squares and enjoy. You can set it aside for up to one day.

Note: CBD Rice Crispy treats may be slightly bitter. A quick solution to that is adding a drizzle of chocolate, strawberry, or butterscotch sauce across the top. You can also try to flavor your CBD oil to increase the sweetness of your final product. Do you want to know a straightforward way to achieve this delicious recipe?
