Dosing Tips for Your Infused Peanut Butter Banana Bites
- Design each finger food piece to contain exactly one dose of 5-10 mg for straightforward consumption tracking.
- Wrap, stuff, or encase the cannabis element inside the finger food so the THC is sealed in and evenly distributed.
- Provide a tray card listing ingredients, allergens, and the exact THC dose per piece for responsible serving.
- Finger foods are often eaten quickly in social settings. Remind guests that effects take 60-90 minutes before eating more.
- Mix the cannabutter thoroughly into the peanut butter and divide equally among the banana sandwiches for consistent dosing per bite.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Making finger foods so small that the cannabis flavor is concentrated, or so large that people only eat half and get an inconsistent dose.
- Applying cannabutter as an external glaze that rubs off on hands and napkins, reducing the actual consumed dose.
- Cooking finger foods at temperatures above No baking required to crisp the exterior, which can degrade THC on exposed surfaces.
- Forgetting to account for guests with dietary restrictions when choosing the finger food format.
