Weed Rice Krispie Treats
A classic cannabis edible that is easy to make, easy to dose, and loved by all. Rice Krispie treats are simple, no-bake, and can be cut into precise portions for consistent dosing. A great beginner edible recipe.
This easy cannabis weed rice krispie treats recipe uses cannabutter for a consistent, potent infusion that bakes beautifully at 350F. Baked goods are one of the most popular ways to enjoy edibles because the fat binds perfectly with THC. Follow our step-by-step guide to get reliable dosing every time. These nostalgic rice krispie treats get an adult upgrade with cannabutter melted directly into the marshmallow mixture for easy, no-bake preparation.
- 3 tbsp cannabutter (see Cannabutter recipe)
- 1 bag (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups rice cereal (Rice Krispies or similar)
- Pinch of salt
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Melt cannabutter in a large pot over low heat. Keep the heat low to preserve THC.
- Add marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Quickly stir in the rice cereal and salt, mixing until fully coated.
- Pour into the prepared pan and press flat with a greased spatula or your hands.
- Let cool completely (about 30 minutes), then cut into 12 equal squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Dosing Tips for Your Weed Rice Krispie Treats
- Start with 5-10 mg of THC per serving when baking for the first time, and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more.
- Mix your cannabutter thoroughly into the batter to ensure even distribution of THC across every piece.
- Use our calculator to determine the total milligrams in your cannabutter, then divide by the number of portions you plan to cut.
- Remember that baked goods can take 45-90 minutes to take effect because they must be digested first.
- Press the mixture into a lined pan of known dimensions and cut into a grid of equal pieces for consistent dosing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Baking at temperatures above 350 F (175 C) for extended periods can degrade THC. Keep your oven at or below 350F and avoid overbaking.
- Skipping decarboxylation before infusing your fat is the most common beginner mistake and will result in weak or inactive edibles.
- Not mixing the cannabutter evenly into the batter leads to hot spots where one piece is extremely potent and another has almost nothing.
- Opening the oven door frequently causes temperature fluctuations that can affect both the bake and cannabinoid preservation.
How to Store Weed Rice Krispie Treats
- Store your Weed Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months without significant potency loss.
- Always label your edibles clearly with the date, strain used, and approximate mg per serving to avoid accidental overconsumption.
- Wrap each square individually in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to one week.
Variations & Ideas
- Swap cannabutter for cannabis-infused coconut oil for a dairy-free version that still binds THC effectively.
- Add a teaspoon of sunflower lecithin to your batter to improve THC absorption and create a more even distribution.
- Try using a mix of CBD and THC-infused fat for a more balanced, less intoxicating effect that is great for daytime use.
- Mix in a handful of mini M&Ms or drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top for extra indulgence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Raw flower must be decarboxylated first, and even then it creates a gritty texture and uneven dosing. Infusing your cannabutter first gives a much smoother result and more reliable potency.
Oven thermostats can be off by 25 degrees or more. Use an oven thermometer to verify the actual temperature matches 350F. This matters because excessive heat degrades THC while too-low temperatures may underbake your goods.
Yes, there will be a noticeable cannabis aroma while baking, especially in the first 15-20 minutes. Using properly infused and strained cannabutter reduces the smell compared to adding flower directly. Good ventilation helps.
When stored properly in an airtight container, cannabis baked goods retain their full potency for about two weeks at room temperature. Frozen edibles can stay potent for three months or longer. Heat and light are the main enemies of THC stability.
You cannot reduce the dosage once baked, but you can cut smaller pieces. This is why accurate calculation before baking is essential. Use our dosage calculator to plan your total THC content and number of servings before you start.
