Valentine’s Day is upon us and although there are many ways one can celebrate with their significant other, one of the best is most certainly rich delicious food. If you and your partner are cannabis consumers, or even if you’re looking to try something new, then look no further as we have a fabulous Valentine’s Day recipe for infused chocolate fondue.
Although it’s hard to believe, there are some people that are not aware of exactly what fondue is. But don’t fret because here’s a short education on the delicious dish.
There have been many incarnations of fondue over the years, with the earliest known recipe for a cheese fondue dating back to 1699 in Switzerland. Basically modern day fondue is food that is dipped in a communal pot of liquid. More often than not the liquid is melted chocolate or cheese and the dipping ingredients can be bread, fruit, pretzels and other small foods.
This chocolate fondue is very easy to make and creates a velvety, decadent milk chocolate sauce that is perfect for dipping. Kudos to CannabisWiki for the recipe.

Cannabis infused chocolate fondue
Get the skewers ready! Though this chocolate cannabis fondue is certainly best served fresh, you can also freeze it in cubes or layers to defrost for other marijuana edibles recipes later.
Time to make: 40 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 10 ounces of cannabis chocolate
- ½ cup of white milk
- 2 tablespoons of cannabutter
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ¾ cup of water
Tools
- 1 medium glass bowl
- 1 mixing tool
- 1 saucepan
Instructions
- Add the chocolate, milk, and cannabutter to a medium sized glass bowl.
- Place the bowl in the middle of the saucepan.
- Fill the pan halfway full of water and set the heat to medium.
- Use a stirring tool to combine the ingredients and scrape the edges of the dish to keep the weed chocolate sauce from burning. Continue to cook it until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If at any point you notice chunks beginning to appear just add a bit more milk to fix it.
- Once the ingredients have entirely melted, you can remove the pan from the burner and add in the vanilla.
- Stir the vanilla into the infused chocolate sauce and serve it immediately or cool and refrigerate it to reheat later using the same warm bath technique. If the cannabis fondue gets too thick after serving you can heat the mixture in 30-second intervals using a microwave.
