If there’s any holiday that could be known as the chocolate holiday, it’s Easter. It’s a time to celebrate as kids run around looking for chocolate eggs and maybe a gift hidden somewhere. But while adults may not join in the egg hunt, there are ways for them to have a little fun of their own.

Whipping up some quick cannabis treats, whether they’re dripping with chocolate or just subtly sweet, is a great way to celebrate this Easter holiday. It’s really easy to do, too. Just follow one of the delectable recipes below and get ready for a spiced up holiday!

With just about any cannabis baked good, you’ll first have to make cannabutter. This is because you can’t just eat marijuana and expect it to get you high.
