What You'll Need to Make Weed White Chocolate Peppermint Bark

Crafting weed white chocolate peppermint bark at home is straightforward. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl: Essential for evenly melting the white chocolate without overheating it.
• Silicone spatula or spoon: For smooth mixing and spreading.
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper: Provides a non-stick surface for the bark to set.
• Infused coconut oil: This ingredient upgrades this recipe from regular white chocolate bark to an infused option.

Other optional tools: 

• A weed grinder, if starting with flower. You'll want to decarboxylate before attempting to infuse an oil with it.
• Candy thermometer for precise chocolate tempering (if aiming for that perfect snap).

How Much Weed Do You Need?

The dosage of weed white chocolate peppermint bark depends on how strong you’d like each piece to be. A general starting point is ½ to 1 tablespoon of infused coconut oil for the entire recipe. If your infused oil uses 7 grams of cannabis flower per cup, this translates to a low dose of approximately 2.5 mg of THC per piece, depending on how you cut the bark.

Consider using an edible calculator to tailor the recipe to your preferences for more precise dosing. Remember, edibles can take longer to kick in than smoking or vaping. Start low and go slow with your servings to ensure you have a good time.

Weed White Chocolate Peppermint Bark: The Ingredients

• 12 oz (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips or a high-quality white chocolate bar, chopped
• 12 oz (about 2 cups) milk or dark chocolate chips or a high-quality milk or dark chocolate bar, chopped
• ½ to 1 tbsp weed-infused coconut oil (adjust based on desired potency)
• ½ tsp peppermint extract or peppermint oil
• 3 or 4 peppermint candies or candy canes crushed into pieces, roughly half a cup

Easy Dietary Swaps

This versatile recipe can easily be adjusted to suit various dietary needs.

• Vegan/Plant-Based: Use dairy-free chocolate, such as coconut or almond-based alternatives. Likewise, ensure your infused coconut oil is unrefined for the best flavor.
• Gluten-Free: Most chocolate and peppermint candies are naturally gluten-free. However, double-check labels to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
• Nut-Free: Confirm that your peppermint candies don’t have traces of nuts in their manufacturing process. Leave out chopped nuts as an additional topping.
• Kosher or Halal: Look for certified kosher or halal chocolate and peppermint candies.

How to Make Weed White Chocolate Peppermint Bark

Follow these steps to create your own weed white chocolate peppermint bark:

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

2. Melt the White Chocolate

Use the double boiler method or microwave to gently melt the white chocolate, the same way you might with traditional chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 15-20-second intervals, stirring between each to avoid overheating.

3. Incorporate Oils

Once the chocolate is smooth, stir in the peppermint oil and ½ to 1 tablespoon infused coconut oil, depending on your desired potency. Ensure the oil is thoroughly mixed for even dosing.

4. Pour White Chocolate and Cool

Take your lined baking sheet,  pour your layer of white chocolate onto it, and spread it evenly with a spatula. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ inch. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for about 20-30 minutes or until the bark is fully hardened.

5. Melt the Milk or Dark Chocolate

Use the double boiler method or microwave to gently melt the chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, to avoid overheating.

6. Spread the Mixture

Remove your white chocolate base from the refrigerator. Pour the milk or dark chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula on top of the white chocolate. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ inch.

7. Add Peppermint Crumbles

Gently fold half of the crushed peppermint candies into the melted chocolate. During this step, add half of any other toppings, such as crushed Oreos or chopped nuts.

8. Set the Bark

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for about 20-30 minutes or until the bark is fully hardened.

9. Break Into Pieces

Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and break it into bite-sized pieces.

The Best Way to Store Your Freshly Made Weed White Chocolate Peppermint Bark

Proper storage is key to keeping any weed white chocolate fresh and potent. Once the bark has fully hardened and been broken into pieces, place it in an airtight container. Store the container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard, to protect it from heat, light, and moisture.

If you live in a warmer climate or want to extend its shelf life, refrigerate the bark. For even longer storage, freeze it—but ensure each piece is separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.

When properly stored, white chocolate peppermint bark can last up to 2 weeks at room temperature, 4 weeks in the refrigerator, or several months in the freezer.
