Cannabis Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles — 4 Easy Steps

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of icing sugar, ½ cup of peanut butter, and 3 tablespoons of melted cannabutter. Stir or fold until fully incorporated. The mixture should be firm enough to roll. If it is too soft, add a little more icing sugar. If too stiff, add a small amount of cannabutter. This is the base for your cannabis infused peanut butter balls.

Step 2: Chill the Filling

Transfer the peanut butter filling to a dish or container. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm enough to roll into balls. Cold filling is much easier to shape into cannabis infused peanut butter balls than warm — do not skip this step.

Step 3: Make the Cannabis Chocolate Coating with Cannabutter

Set up a double boiler — a heatproof bowl over a pot of barely simmering water. Add 210g of Belgian dark couverture chocolate and 35g of cannabutter to the bowl. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth. Keep the heat low — you do not want to scorch the chocolate. This cannabis chocolate coating with cannabutter will have a beautiful gloss when tempered correctly.

Note: Keep the chocolate temperature below 115°F (46°C) to avoid degrading THC in the cannabutter. Remove from heat as soon as it is fully melted.

Step 4: Roll, Dip, and Set

Remove the peanut butter filling from the fridge. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter — these are your no bake cannabis truffles before coating. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted cannabis chocolate coating. Tap off the excess, then place on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate until fully set — about 20–30 minutes. This cannabutter chocolate truffle recipe makes approximately 12–16 truffles depending on size.

Dosage Notes

Fordee used 80g of cannabutter total across the filling (45g) and coating (35g). His estimated batch total was about 640 mg THC — approximately 30–50 mg per truffle. He cleaned the spatula and ate one truffle and was too high to finish editing the video that day. Start with half a truffle if you are new to cannabis edibles. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more.
