This year, things are most definitely different, but one thing that we can all agree on? Eating Cannabis Edibles For Easter.
I’m not sure where you are from, but I’m in Ontario, Canada and in just two short days, we head into another Covid lockdown.
This means everything’s closed all over again, and Covid cases are on the rise.
With the pressures, stresses and build up of the unknown, coupled with the see saw decisions of those higher up, we have no choice but to find ways to cope, especially with Easter coming soon.
Sadly, too many people are coping in unhealthy ways, so let’s explore some fantastic and healthy Cannabis Edibles For Easter, and the benefits together.
The Benefits Of CBD
CBD – the non-psychoactive compound extracted from the cannabis plant has so many wonderful wellness benefits!
CBD Could Reduce Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression have recently shed their stimatic skin in the mental health world, and become a household name.
Because of a rapid incline in mental health illnesses, those who struggle have taken to CBD Oil and studies have proven a significant decrease overall and clinical studies are proving its benefits and positive effects!
Cooking with CBD Oil
CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.
With its gaining popularity in the health and wellness world, and with the backing evidence and more and more scientific studies confirming its benefits, CBD Oil may ease symptoms like chronic pain and anxiety.
Cooking with CBD oil is an excellent choice for those wishing to enjoy all of the wonderful positive side effects, while not getting high.

Cannabis butter is where it’s at when it comes to cooking an Easter meal, or even just a little Easter treat!
The difference between using CBD or THC in your cooking is the difference between how you’re going to end up feeling – THC gets you high, CBD does not.

Mini Egg Cookies Recipe
If you’re craving something sweet and chewy for Easter weekend, then try my recipe for Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies!
1cupchocolate (70% cocoa solids) or milk chocolate.
Method
In a large bowl, put in your chocolate and cannabis butter.
Half-fill a small pan with water and bring to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Rest your bowl with chocolate on top, then allow to melt, stirring occasionally.
Using oven gloves, remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool to 35ºC. Check the temperature with a cooking thermometer.
Spoon the chocolate into your mould, one tablespoon at a time, tilting the mould so the chocolate covers the surface. Don’t worry if you make a mess! Tip any excess chocolate back into the bowl.
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then, using a butter knife, scrape around the rim of the mould to get a clean edge.
Meanwhile, repeat steps 4 to 6 with the second mould.
Lay out some greaseproof paper and place the mould flat-side-down on top for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
To remove your eggs from their moulds, squeeze the casing gently, working your way around the edge (the warmth from your hands will help).
Brush the remaining melted chocolate around the rim of each of the chocolate egg halves, then gently press them together so they stick in place. Leave for a few minutes until the chocolate sets, then it’s ready!
