At Ooze, we love three things equally: cannabis, dessert, and any excuse to combine the two. Valentine's Day? Anniversary? Random Tuesday night? If chocolate is involved, we're in.

Sure, you could grab a generic box of heart-shaped chocolates and call it romantic. Or you could go the extra mile and make weed chocolate-covered strawberries! A classic treat with an infused twist that shows you actually put in some effort (and a little THC).

This guide breaks down everything you need to know to make cannabis chocolate-covered strawberries at home, starting with a simple infused coconut oil that works perfectly for chocolate, desserts, and beyond.

 

How To Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil 

 

Before we dip anything in chocolate, we need a fat that THC can bind to. Coconut oil is one of the best oils for edibles, making it ideal for infused desserts like these strawberries, brownies and other chocolate treats.

Why Coconut Oil Works So Well for Edibles

• High fat content = better THC absorption
• Vegan and dairy-free
• Neutral flavor that won't overpower desserts
• Solid at room temp, easy to measure and store

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 7-10 grams ground cannabis flower

Tools

• Double-Boiler (a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of water)
• Cheesecloth or fine strainer
• Weed Grinder

Directions

1. Lightly grind your cannabis. Avoid grinding too fine, you'll strain it out later.
2. Combine cannabis and coconut oil in the top of your double boiler.
3. Heat on low for about 6 hours, keeping the temperature under 245°F. This gently decarbs and infuses the oil without burning it.
4. Strain out the plant matter using cheesecloth or a fine strainer.
5. Let cool and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

You now have THC-infused coconut oil ready for chocolate, baking, or any edible recipe your heart desires.

How to Make Weed Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

This is where things get sweet and a little elevated.

Ingredients

• Fresh strawberries (washed and COMPLETELY dry - the chocolate won't stick if they are damp)
• Chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
• THC-infused coconut oil
• Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler on low heat. 
2. Stir in a small amount of the infused coconut oil. Start low, you can always add more.
3. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate, coating evenly.
4. Add toppings if desired while the chocolate is still warm.
5. Place on parchment paper and let set at room temperature or in the fridge.
6. Enjoy responsibly and store leftovers in the fridge.

 

Dosing Tips for Infused Desserts

Chocolate-covered strawberries are perfect for controlled dosing:

• Use less infused oil and more chocolate for lighter effects.
• Make non-infused and infused batches so guests can choose (make sure they are properly labeled!).
• Always start low, especially if sharing.

Gravy might be the MVP of customizable dosing, but strawberries aren't far behind.

Weed chocolate-covered strawberries are easy, romantic, and endlessly customizable. Whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day, date night, or just treating yourself, this infused dessert delivers the perfect balance of sweet flavor and smooth effects.
