Sweet CBD-Infused Valentine’s Recipes
CBD can help you and your loved one relax and unwind to get in the mood. Here are a few CBD-infused recipes for Valentine’s Day or any time you want a CBD sweet treat for an evening of romance.
CBD Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate covered strawberries are a Valentine’s Day favorite and they are fast and easy to prepare. Adjust the CBD serving size depending on how many strawberries you each plan on eating, with no more than one serving per person. You could also use this same recipe for sweet and salty chocolate covered pretzel sticks.
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 16 ounces milk chocolate chips or 60 to 70 percent dark chocolate chips
- 1-2 servings Holmes Organics CBD oil tincture
- 1 pound fresh strawberries with stems on
- Optional white chocolate for drizzle
- Rinse your strawberries and pat or air dry.
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or foil.
- Melt the shortening over medium-low heat in a double boiler.
- As soon as it is melted whisk in the CBD oil.
- Immediately add the chocolate and stir constantly until it is melted.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat and dip the strawberries by the stem into the chocolate. Lay them on the lined cookie sheet to harden.
- Melt a tiny bit of white chocolate with a small dab of shortening and drizzle it on top of your strawberries to create a beautiful contrast.
CBD-Infused Mango & Raspberry Bellini
You can add CBD to any of your favorite cocktails or beverages. Stirring it in is not enough for your CBD to evenly disperse, so it must be shaken, whisked, or blended in.
A fruity sparkling Bellini is perfect to kick off an evening of romance. This recipe is enough for you to have 2 drinks each, with a half serving of CBD per cocktail.
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or regular sugar
- 2 servings Holmes Organics CBD oil tincture
- 1 bottle of champagne, sparkling wine, or sparkling water
- Water
- Garnish of choice, either mint or fresh raspberries
- Let the raspberries and mango sit for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add raspberries, mango, sugar, CBD, and ½ cup water and ½ cup champagne or sparkling beverage to your blender.
- Blend until smooth. Add a bit more water if needed.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoons of your fruity mixture into 2 champagne glasses.
- Top glasses off with champagne, sparkling wine, or sparkling water.
- Garnish with mint or fresh raspberries.
CBD-Infused Hot Chocolate
Use any kind of hot chocolate powder that you like, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or flavored. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, consider splurging on a gourmet or imported blend like rich and creamy Belgium hot chocolate or spicy Mexican hot chocolate. Keep this sweet drink NA or add in an ounce of Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlua. This recipe is enough for you to have 1 drink each, with one serving of CBD per cocktail.
- 3 cups of your milk of choice, coconut milk will sweeten this recipe even more
- 2 servings of your hot chocolate powder of choice
- 2 servings Holmes Organics CBD oil tincture
- Optional 1 to 2 ounces of Baileys or Kahlua
- Whipped cream to top
Heat milk on medium-low heat until it comes to a light simmer. Turn off heat and whisk in the hot chocolate powder and CBD. Whisk your liquor in last. Pour into 2 oversized mugs and top with whipped cream.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
