FAQ
Why are rice crispy treats one of the best cannabis edibles for beginners?
Rice crispy treats require no baking (no risk of overheating cannabutter), take only 15 minutes, cut into equal squares for consistent dosing, and are easy to share with a known mg per piece. The simple recipe makes it easy to scale up or down for any batch size.
Does heat destroy THC when making rice crispy treats?
Keep heat low (below 200°F / 93°C) when melting the marshmallows. THC degrades above 200°F, but marshmallows melt well below that temperature with gentle stirring. Remove from heat as soon as everything is melted — do not continue cooking.
How many mg per rice crispy treat?
With 3 tablespoons of standard cannabutter (48 mg/tbsp), total THC is approximately 144 mg across 16 squares — about 9 mg per square. This is a good beginner dose. Use the BatchCraft calculator with your specific cannabutter to get exact numbers.
