Delta-9 THC Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Truffles

4-6 Servings
Difficulty: Medium

• 3 beeZbee Delta-9 THC dark chocolate bars, broken into squares

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons crushed candy canes

1. Combine the chocolate squares, heavy cream and butter to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. If the chocolate has not melted, continue to microwave in increments of 10 seconds at a time until melted thoroughly. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
2. Remove the bowl from the microwave. Whisk until the melted chocolate, heavy cream and melted butter are completely combined. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
