Gourmet Cannabis-Infused Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

An indulgent, elevated edible for the canna-curious and culinary-inclined.

There’s something undeniably luxe about a chocolate-covered strawberry. It’s romantic, flirty, and almost too pretty to eat—but even better when infused with something extra. These gourmet cannabis-infused chocolate-covered strawberries are my go-to when I want a dessert that feels decadent but still carries the healing intention cannabis brings.

Whether you’re hosting a Galentine’s night, planning a self-care Saturday, or just craving a treat that tastes as good as it looks, this recipe checks all the boxes: it’s rich, glossy, and a whole vibe.

But let’s be clear—this isn’t your average edible. It’s intentional, elevated, and rooted in care. And like everything we do at Honestly Mary Jane, it’s made with flavor, balance, and good energy in mind

What You’ll Need

This recipe makes 12 infused strawberries.

For the Cannabis-Infused Chocolate:

½ cup cannabis-infused coconut oil (or cannabutter)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Strawberries:

12 large, ripe strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)

1 cup dark chocolate chips (for coating)

Optional toppings: chopped pistachios, toasted coconut, flaky sea salt, edible glitter, or whatever fits your aesthetic

Before you dip a single berry, you’ll need a solid infused base. I prefer cannabis-infused coconut oil for its versatility, smooth texture, and subtle flavor that blends effortlessly with chocolate. You can also use cannabutter if that’s what you have on hand—but coconut oil gives that silky, glossy finish we love for dipping.

If you’re new to infusing at home, here’s a quick (but thorough) refresher:

How to Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil

Step 1: Decarb Your Flower

Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Gently grind your cannabis (don't powder it) and spread it evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even decarboxylation. This crucial step activates the THC or CBD in your flower.

Step 2: Infuse the Oil

Add ½ cup coconut oil to a saucepan over low heat. Stir in your decarbed cannabis and let it infuse for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally. Keep the heat low—never let it simmer or boil. This slow infusion allows the cannabinoids to fully bind to the fat in the oil.

Step 3: Strain & Store

Strain your oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, airtight jar. Discard the leftover plant material. Store your infused oil in a cool, dark place (or the fridge) until ready.

Pro tip: Label your infusion clearly—this is not your everyday cooking oil

Let’s Make Some Magic

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Use the double boiler method for a smooth, even melt. Place a heat-safe bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Add your semi-sweet chocolate chips and infused coconut oil, stirring constantly until melted and velvety.

This is the moment when everything comes together. The chocolate should be glossy and pourable—not too thick or runny. If you want a darker, more bittersweet flavor profile, feel free to swap in 70% dark chocolate here.

Step 2: Dip with Intention

Hold each strawberry by the stem (or insert a toothpick/skewer if you need more grip), and dip it into your melted infused chocolate. Let any excess drip off, then immediately add your toppings if using.

Consider contrast—crushed pistachios for color and crunch, sea salt for that sweet-savory moment, or edible rose petals if you’re really going for drama.

Step 3: Chill and Set

Place your dipped berries on a parchment-lined tray and let them chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set. Don’t rush this part—the patience pays off.

Step 4: Serve, Share, or Savor Solo

Once set, your cannabis-infused chocolate strawberries are ready to enjoy. Serve them on a pretty platter, gift them to a friend, or indulge solo with your favorite playlist on low and a cup of herbal tea.

Dosage Notes & Edible Etiquette

Let’s keep it real—these are potent. The strength of your strawberries depends entirely on the potency of your infused coconut oil and how much of it is used in the chocolate.

Note: If you’re new to edibles:

Start with one strawberry.

Wait at least 60–90 minutes before consuming more.

Do not underestimate the effects—even something this delicious deserves your respect.

Keep infused treats stored safely away from kids, pets, or unsuspecting guests. Label everything clearly and store them like you would any edible that’s not for general consumption

Final Thoughts

This recipe isn’t just about creating a gorgeous dessert—it’s about embracing cannabis in elegant, joyful, and culturally rooted ways. Because we deserve experiences that match our vibe—delicious and intentional edibles.

So whether you're making these strawberries for a girls’ night in, gifting them to your favorite canna-lover, or simply treating yourself—do it with love, care, and consciousness.

Here’s to indulgence with intention
