Peppermint Extract VS Flavour

This recipe use peppermint flavour to give it its distinctive taste. But why do we use flavour over extract, and what’s the difference?

Well, most extracts are alcohol based while flavours tend to be oil based. This is important because we are working with chocolate. Chocolate doesn’t react well to water ! It even tends to seize with the smallest contact with it. This is why if you put a peppermint extract that is alchool based in this recipe, you might not be able to pipe the hot chocolate in the molds before it solidifies.

( AKA, I ruined a batch like that because it seized in less than 2 minutes. Ouff!)

This is why it is super important to use a peppermint flavour that is oil based in theses peppermint hot chocolates. This is why I use *Simply Organic Peppermint Flavour . I have used this exact flavour for multiple years now and I am always impressed .

Theses peppermint hot chocolates  are based on  my classic hot chocolate on a stick.

It’s not a race. Take it slowly

I like to write on the stick itself the flavor of theses hot chocolates, and on the other side the individual potency so that if the hot chocolate gets taken out of their boxes, you still know how strong they are. I highly recommend you do the same.

Important

Also, it is very important that you inform anyone you give theses to that they contain cannabis and what is their potency. If the person is not experienced with edibles, it would be also nice to give them a small edible 101.

Always clearly label your edibles, keep them out of reach of children and pets, and don’t eat more than you can handle.

Info Infusion

This recipe is somewhat sensitive to changes in oil, which means that the quantity of oil can be slightly increased but it should not be decreased. If you want a strong edible, use a stronger oil and if you want a weaker one, use the quantity of oil that would give you the potency wanted and complete with regular oil.

Oil

Both vegetable oil (canola, corn, grapeseed) and coconut oil can be used in this recipe without a difference.

Sober version ?

If you want to make a sober version of theses hot chocolate on a stick, simply replace the infused oil with regular oil. I do not recommend removing the oil altogether, because the mixture is already very thick, so removing it would make it even thicker.
