These cannabis infused halloween treats from Herbistry420 put a festive twist on the classic marshmallow crispy square. Instead of Rice Krispies, Fordee uses Fruit Loops for a colorful, Halloween-ready edible — topped with melted milk chocolate for good measure. They come together in under an hour and make a large batch perfect for sharing with adults who know what they are getting.
Why Fruit Loops Make Great Cannabis Halloween Edibles
Fruit Loops cannabis treats work on the same principle as any marshmallow bar — the cannabis is already in the butter, so there is no additional infusion step. You melt the cannabutter with marshmallows, fold in the cereal, and press. The colorful loops turn these into proper cannabis halloween edibles that look festive without looking suspicious, especially when finished with a chocolate drizzle cannabis treats topping.
Ingredients for Cannabis Infused Halloween Treats
- 8 cups (approx. 232g) Fruit Loops or any fruit-flavored cereal
- ~½ cup (120–122g) cannabutter — slightly over half a cup is fine
- 360g marshmallows (450g recommended for a stickier bar; Fordee used ghost-shaped ones for Halloween)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 bar milk chocolate (for drizzling) — or dark chocolate or white chocolate
- Butter or cooking spray to grease the pan
Equipment
- Large pot or saucepan
- Silicone spatula
- Baking pan (greased with butter or cooking spray)
- Small double boiler or pot for melting chocolate
- Knife for cutting bars
Cannabis Infused Halloween Treats — 5 Steps
Step 1: Melt the Cannabutter and Marshmallows
Place the cannabutter in a large pot over medium heat. Once it starts to melt, add the marshmallows and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula as the marshmallows begin to soften. Keep the heat at medium-low — you want a gentle melt, not a hard simmer. High heat risks burning the mixture and degrading THC. If you hear it bubbling aggressively, reduce heat immediately. Stir until the cannabutter marshmallow treats base is smooth, uniform, and gooey.
Step 2: Remove from Heat and Fold in Fruit Loops
Turn off the heat and take the pot off the burner. Immediately pour in the Fruit Loops. Fold gently using the spatula — you want every loop coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture without crushing the cereal. If the mixture starts setting too quickly, briefly return the pot to low heat for 30 seconds to loosen it. Work quickly but carefully to create evenly coated Fruit Loops cannabis treats.
Step 3: Press into a Greased Pan
Transfer the mixture to a well-greased baking pan. Use a spatula (and clean, buttered hands if needed) to press everything down into an even layer. Do not pack it too tightly — you want a slightly airy, crispy result. Fordee recommends spreading into a 9×13 inch pan or similar. The more surface area, the thinner the layer and the lighter the dose per square.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Drizzle
While the base sets, melt your chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. Use milk chocolate for classic sweetness, dark chocolate for a less sweet finish, or white chocolate for contrast. Once melted, drizzle or spread the chocolate over the pressed cannabis infused halloween treats. The chocolate drizzle cannabis treats layer adds richness and helps the bars hold together. For a Halloween aesthetic, a random drizzle pattern looks great.
Step 5: Cool, Cut, and Serve
Place the pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Once firm, remove and cut into squares with a sharp knife. The size of each square determines the dose — cut smaller if your cannabutter is particularly strong. Label clearly as cannabis halloween edibles and keep away from children, pets, and anyone who has not consented. These store well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days.
Tips for Better Results
- Use 450g marshmallows — Fordee used 360g and found the bars slightly less sticky than ideal. An extra 90g of marshmallows makes for a more cohesive, classic bar texture.
- White marshmallows are better — Fordee used ghost-shaped colored marshmallows (fun for Halloween!) but noted they changed the color of the goo. Plain white small marshmallows melt faster and look cleaner.
- Keep heat low — High heat risks burning the butter and degrading THC into CBN (which is more sedating than psychoactive). Low and slow wins.
- Grease the pan well — Butter or cooking spray prevents sticking. Fordee buttered his pan and noted a slight wet bottom — use spray for a cleaner release.
Dosage Notes
Fordee used approximately ½ cup of cannabutter made with roughly 1 ounce (28g) of cannabis for the full batch. Potency per square depends on how many pieces you cut. More pieces = lower dose per piece. These cannabis infused halloween treats are meant for adults only — dose conservatively, especially if sharing with anyone unfamiliar with edibles. Start with one square and wait 2 hours before taking more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cereal?
Yes. This cannabutter marshmallow treats recipe works with any cereal. Rice Krispies are the classic choice and give a cleaner flavor. Fruit Loops add color and a fruity sweetness. Cocoa Puffs, Corn Flakes, or even Honey Smacks all work — adjust marshmallow quantity based on cereal density.
How do I know how strong each piece is?
Calculate the total THC in your cannabutter batch, then divide by the number of squares you cut. For example, if your cannabutter contains 500mg THC and you cut 20 squares, each square has approximately 25mg THC. These cannabis halloween edibles can be potent — always calculate before serving.
Can I skip the chocolate?
Absolutely. The chocolate drizzle cannabis treats topping is optional — the bars are complete without it. Fordee added it purely for extra flavor and visual appeal. Skip it if you prefer a simpler, lower-calorie version or if you want to reduce the prep time.
How long do these keep?
Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, cannabis infused halloween treats keep for 3–5 days. Refrigerate if your kitchen is warm. The chocolate topping may bloom slightly in the fridge (turn whitish) but this does not affect flavor.
