Cannabis Infused Halloween Treats — 5 Steps

Step 1: Melt the Cannabutter and Marshmallows

Place the cannabutter in a large pot over medium heat. Once it starts to melt, add the marshmallows and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula as the marshmallows begin to soften. Keep the heat at medium-low — you want a gentle melt, not a hard simmer. High heat risks burning the mixture and degrading THC. If you hear it bubbling aggressively, reduce heat immediately. Stir until the cannabutter marshmallow treats base is smooth, uniform, and gooey.

Step 2: Remove from Heat and Fold in Fruit Loops

Turn off the heat and take the pot off the burner. Immediately pour in the Fruit Loops. Fold gently using the spatula — you want every loop coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture without crushing the cereal. If the mixture starts setting too quickly, briefly return the pot to low heat for 30 seconds to loosen it. Work quickly but carefully to create evenly coated Fruit Loops cannabis treats.

Step 3: Press into a Greased Pan

Transfer the mixture to a well-greased baking pan. Use a spatula (and clean, buttered hands if needed) to press everything down into an even layer. Do not pack it too tightly — you want a slightly airy, crispy result. Fordee recommends spreading into a 9×13 inch pan or similar. The more surface area, the thinner the layer and the lighter the dose per square.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate Drizzle

While the base sets, melt your chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. Use milk chocolate for classic sweetness, dark chocolate for a less sweet finish, or white chocolate for contrast. Once melted, drizzle or spread the chocolate over the pressed cannabis infused halloween treats. The chocolate drizzle cannabis treats layer adds richness and helps the bars hold together. For a Halloween aesthetic, a random drizzle pattern looks great.

Step 5: Cool, Cut, and Serve

Place the pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Once firm, remove and cut into squares with a sharp knife. The size of each square determines the dose — cut smaller if your cannabutter is particularly strong. Label clearly as cannabis halloween edibles and keep away from children, pets, and anyone who has not consented. These store well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days.

Tips for Better Results

• Use 450g marshmallows — Fordee used 360g and found the bars slightly less sticky than ideal. An extra 90g of marshmallows makes for a more cohesive, classic bar texture.
• White marshmallows are better — Fordee used ghost-shaped colored marshmallows (fun for Halloween!) but noted they changed the color of the goo. Plain white small marshmallows melt faster and look cleaner.
• Keep heat low — High heat risks burning the butter and degrading THC into CBN (which is more sedating than psychoactive). Low and slow wins.
• Grease the pan well — Butter or cooking spray prevents sticking. Fordee buttered his pan and noted a slight wet bottom — use spray for a cleaner release.

Dosage Notes

Fordee used approximately ½ cup of cannabutter made with roughly 1 ounce (28g) of cannabis for the full batch. Potency per square depends on how many pieces you cut. More pieces = lower dose per piece. These cannabis infused halloween treats are meant for adults only — dose conservatively, especially if sharing with anyone unfamiliar with edibles. Start with one square and wait 2 hours before taking more.
