Bioassaying some chocolate truffles

[stinkyattic]

Well today is shaping up to be a numb sort of day.

Yesterday I made a big batch of double-dipped pistachio truffles. The first dip layer was cannabutter-espresso-orange fudge and the outer layer is chocolate thinned to dipping consistency with -what else?- cannabutter.

The whole recipe contained 6 g equivalent ground bud in 3 tablespoons butter.
1 tablespoon of the butter went into the fudge and was heated to 236'F ('soft-ball' stage for the confectioners amongst us). 2 more tablespoons went into the chocolate at 90'F but had been heated and held for 2 hours at 180'F during the extreaction process.

I started off the morning with one truffle at 8:30 am, followed by 2 more at approximately 9:00 and 9:15, respectively.

It is now 9:30 and I am certainly starting to feel the effects of the cannabis, definitely in a body sense but a bit more head-high than I had hoped for.

These are intended actually as painkillers for a couple acquaintances of mine who live with MS, meant to be consumed slowly throughout the work day, since even a legal medical user may not necessarily want to duck out and smoke a fattie at lunch, lol!

This is my first attempt at cannabis candy. I will be updating, and I'll have a report soon on how well they work on menstrual cramps, lol!!! I bet you can't WAIT for that one... :wtf:

In retrospect that third truffle probably wasn't such a good idea...

Bah HUMBUG. Valentine's schmalentines. I'm celebrating with my bullydog and my neighbor and her German shepherd and probably there will be weed involved. I think our dogs are in love. Too bad neither of them has the equipment.
No heart-shaped candies were made... I saved a handful for myself and sent about 2 pounds out for testing in the med community. Maybe I will get crafty and do hearts eventually. Chocolate-chipotle maybe? Just... because?

man.. yyou just made me think up something so crazy, IT JUST MIGHT WORK!!! cannabutter and cheese fondue, what?!?!?! I'm off to buy a fondue set!!! TO THE RESTAURANT SUPPLY STORE!!!! (I'm so lucky, I got one on my block)

[stinkyattic]

They worked great!
Dark chocolate chipotle ice cream is just about perfect- I want to get that exact flavor in the next batch of truffles.
Dreadz, check Salvation Army or whatever thrift shop is nearby for fondue sets. You ever hear of a hot dip called Bagna Cauda? It's butter, anchovy, and garlic... yumyum. You can also use olive oil; your call. Problem with cheese fondue is that the oil separating from the cheez is definitely undesirable. You can try to find a mock-fondue dish like a rarebit, but with extra butter.
