Trick and Treat with THC: A Budr Halloween Guide

Spooky season is upon us, and as anyone who’s ever dabbled in cannabis knows, this plant has a long history wrapped in mystery. From ancient healing rituals in China and India to Europe’s wise women and herbalists, cannabis has been celebrated for its transformative, protective, and creative powers for thousands of years. Fast forward to today, and we’re carrying that same sense of magic into our kitchens, Budr style.

Whether you’re planning a haunted hangout with friends or a cozy night of scary movies and snacks, this Halloween is the perfect excuse to get playful with cannabis. From infused butter to chocolate treats and even spooky THC cocktails, Budr has your tricks and treats covered.

Make Your Own Budr (Pun Intended)

Every great edible starts with the classic: canna-butter, or as we like to call it, Budr. Think of it as the magical base for brownies, cookies, caramel popcorn, pumpkin bread … basically anything you can imagine.

Here’s how to conjure it:

1. Decarb your flower: Preheat your oven to 230°F, spread ground cannabis on a baking sheet, and bake 30–40 minutes. This awakens the THC.
2. Simmer & infuse: Combine 1 cup butter with your decarbed flower in a saucepan or slow cooker on low heat for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Strain & store: Pour through cheesecloth, then refrigerate until solid.

We recommend using a canna-butter dosing calculator to help you estimate how many milligrams of THC will be in the finished product based on the weight and potency of your flower and butter. When testing your canna-butter, you should always start small, wait up to two hours, and then adjust your dosing as needed.

Melt & Make: Infused Chocolate Creations

If you’re short on time or craving instant gratification, melting THC chocolate—you can find a wide variety of THC chocolates at your local Budr—is a quick and fun way to get creative. Many chocolates range up to 100mg THC, so always check potency and mix with uninfused chocolate if you want a milder treat.

Then get spooky:

• Drizzle over popcorn or fruit for a sweet, elevated snack
• Dip pretzels for that irresistible salty-sweet combo
• Craft THC Tombstones:
  • Melt your infused chocolate and dip rectangular cookies or crackers
  • Let them set, then decorate with icing (e.g., RIP, BOO, or your own ghoulish designs)
  • Create a graveyard by standing the cookies in crushed Oreos or on a chocolate sheet cake

These haunted goodies are perfect for parties, gifts, or a solo movie night. Just remember to label infused treats clearly and start low.

Happy Haunting & Happy Infusing 

Whether you’re whipping up Budr butter, decorating THC tombstones, or sipping on a Canna-Creeper, Halloween is all about creativity, fun, and safety. Label your treats, keep them out of reach of children and pets. Also, remember that dosing isn’t an exact science. It depends on your tolerance and what you’re used to: start low and go slow.
