Cannabis Infused Rice Krispie Treats — 5 Easy Steps

Step 3 — Season and Remove from Heat

Once the marshmallow mixture is smooth, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the half teaspoon of vanilla and a good pinch of salt. These additions are optional but they round out the flavor beautifully — salt in particular enhances sweetness. Add both before folding in the cereal so they distribute evenly throughout the cannabis Rice Krispie chocolate chip treats.

Step 4 — Fold in the Cereal

Add all 9 cups of crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold everything together. Work quickly — the mixture starts to firm up as it cools. Fold rather than stir aggressively; gentle folding keeps the treats light and airy. Overpacking the mixture makes the final product dense and chewy rather than light and crispy.

Step 5 — Press into Dish and Cool

Line a large pyrex or glass baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and press gently to distribute evenly — do not pack too firmly to maintain airiness. If adding chocolate chips, wait until the mixture is cool to the touch before pressing them in so they hold their shape. Let the cannabutter Rice Krispie treats set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or place in the fridge to speed up setting.

Cannabis Treats Dosage and Portioning

This recipe used 8g of approximately 20% THC cannabis to make the cannabutter. Using a cannabis treats dosage milligrams calculator like Scientific Edibles, the estimated total batch potency is around 1100mg. Cutting the slab into 20 equal pieces gives approximately 55mg per piece. For most adults, 5 to 15mg is a standard dose. These are strong — start with half a piece and wait 90 minutes before eating more.

Adjust the cannabis treats dosage milligrams by changing how much cannabis you use in your cannabutter. Using 4g instead of 8g would cut each piece to roughly 27mg, more suitable for newer cannabis consumers.

Storage Tips

• Room temperature: cannabis Rice Krispies marshmallow treats keep well for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
• Freezer: cut into individual pieces, layer in a zip-lock or tupperware with parchment between layers, and freeze for up to 3 months. Note: texture will be slightly different after thawing, but flavor and potency are preserved.
• Label clearly: always mark cannabis infused treats clearly to prevent accidental consumption.
