Big Game Day parties are all about unforgettable moments spent with great company and let’s not forget – amazing food! For cannabis enthusiasts, it's also an opportunity to enjoy infused versions of game-day favorites. From wings to dips, adding cannabis to your favorite recipes might be easier than you think. Check out our guide to craft a delicious and potent cannabis-infused dish that will be the real MVP of your Super Bowl party.

The Basics of Cannabis Infusion

If you want to make cannabis-infused goodies then you’ll need cannabis infused fat like butter or oil to use in your recipes.

A Quick Guide to Making Cannabis-Infused Butter & Oil

There are countless guides on how to make cannabis-infused butter, oil, and other fats available, but here’s the basic idea:

1. Decarboxylate Your Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes.
2. Combine with Fat: Simmer the decarboxylated cannabis with butter or oil over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring frequently. Strain through cheesecloth to remove plant material and allow the butter/oil to cool.

Things to Keep in Mind When Infusing

Using lecithin in your cannabis-infused recipes offers several benefits such as better consistency, enhanced potency and a longer shelf life. Learn how adding lecithin affects your cannabis edibles.

When it comes to using your infused butter, oil, or other fat in recipes it’s also good to keep in mind how much of it is being used. This will help you dose wisely later when serving. Calculating the THC dosage of homemade edibles is recommended – even if it’s just an estimate. It’s always recommended to start “low and slow” with edibles.

Tips for Serving Cannabis Infused Snacks

1. Clearly label – Make sure that guests know which snacks are infused and which aren’t.
2. Dose wisely – No one wants to miss the fourth quarter of the big game. Start with small doses, especially for anyone new or inexperienced with cannabis. Starting with a dose of around 5 – 10mg is good for most people. Keep in mind that edibles tend to kick in between 30 minutes to 2 hours, but everyone is different. Limit yourself to one serving at a time and be sure to give your body enough time to process.
3. Offer alternatives – It’s important to offer guests non-infused snack options if they prefer not to partake.
4. Enjoy responsibly – Hosting a Big Game party can be a marathon. It’s a good idea to pace yourself and enjoy your infused snacks responsibility. This of course includes adhering to local laws and regulations regarding cannabis use and serving.
