- Stir the mixture slowly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and melted cannabutter until well combined.
-
Let cool down

To store

Important NOTE
“What’s in it is in it!” – When it comes to edibles, always pay attention to how much you consume and wait a reasonable amount of time between doses to assess the effect. Never let anyone try or eat your edibles, especially if they don’t know about the ingredients! Always keep edibles locked away and out of the reach of children. Do not operate machinery or drive while under the influence of cannabis. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid any form of cannabis.
