I’m thinking of turning some of my grow into edibles, either brownies or gummies. I’ve been looking at blogs re coconut oil, butter etc and would be interested to know if anyone has suggestions on the topic. I’m looking for the easiest way to get started.

hello and welcome back to the community. as for your question any treat that you want to make like brownies or cookies are wicked easy to make your basically following the directions on the box but using cannabutter or oil instead. today I’m making rice Krispy treats and chocolate smores bars. both very simple but for rice krispies simply melt butter and a bag of marshmallows over medium to low heat and once fully melted mix with whatever cereal you prefer and then shape and press into a baking pan and let rest for 15 mins or so.
For the chocolate pretty much same process (melt butter and chocolate on low) crush up some gram cracker cereal, spread chocolate in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper then sprinkle with mini marshmallows and crushed gram crackers and set in fridge for 30 mins and ready to eat. hope this helps some and if ya would like a few other recipes like chocolate dipped strawberries (wicked easy) or things like that feel free to give a shout

not sure if you know how to decarb your bud so it can be used for edibles but another easy process. Break cannabis up spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, preheat oven to 190 degrees Fahrenheit (or equivalent to if using Celsius) bake for 60-90 mins rotating halfway through bake. this will safely decarb you bud without burning off the trichomes and thc. In a pan melt 2 sticks of butter or coconut oil (whichever you prefer) on low with a cup of water (to prevent scorching and regulate heat) for around 3 hours is what I prefer and stirring frequently then strain through a cheese cloth and let cool and then set in fridge to separate the oil from any left over water and solidify and once that process is done you have butter/oil you can use with any recipe that involves butter or oil

For me I make butter as I like the butter flavor better than oils in my baked goods. I do 14-28g flower to 4 sticks of butter. I’d start with 14 until you know how you’ll respond, it’s still quite strong. I like to make chocolate chocolate chip cookies as they freeze better, but for a party I bring brownies. I’ve tried making gummies but no matter what recipe I use they are never as good as dispo ones.

I first decarb the cannabis in the oven. Then I like to take equal parts coconut oil and cannabis in a pan. Let it simmer for a while just don’t let it get over 200 degrees. Then strain it with cheesecloth and you’re good to use it in whatever you want. I prefer to make gummies with it.

In my opinion if I would suggest a first step I would have to say educate yourself on making the oil and cannabis butter and the decarbing. You also want to pay attention to the strain you are using. The reason I say this is because it would basically be your personal reason for making the edibles is it going to be for municipal or to enjoy. After you get these covered the infusing them into the edibles is the easy part. YouTube can be your best friend step by step with videos
