You buy bowls or buckets of candy and suddenly you have a ton leftover and you don’t want to gorge on it for the next week. Why not try something new? You can make a candy pie and if you want to add a little marijuana – you have a leftover “Hallo-weed” pie. This recipe is for a delicious candy pie and you can add a weed twist!
It’s a dangerously delicious concept: simply take a bunch of fun-size candy bars and make them a whole lot more fun by mounding them in a pie crust brushed with cannabutter. All you have to do is bake until melty and gooey to your liking, let cool briefly, and enjoy. Trick or treating may be for kids, but this pie will make you proud to be an adult.
● 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp cannabutter, melted (optional)
1. Preheat The Oven To 350
Have your unbaked pie crust at the ready.
2. Bush Your Crust
Using a pastry brush, gently brush the entire bottom and the inner sides of your pie crust with the melted cannabutter. Take care to apply it evenly along the surface or the party may not be equally as fun for everyone.
3. Unwrap A Big Ol’ Bunch Of Halloween Candy
I was working from an assorted bag of fun-size chocolate treats, and I used about half of the two pound bag (so, about 1 pound of candy). You can use whatever mix of candies you like. Mound the candy into the pie shell. Make sure to evenly distribute the candy. Fill it fairly close to the top of the shell, because the candy will lose a little volume as it melts.
4. Bake Until The Candy Is Melty And The Crust Is Toasty
About 35-40 minutes. If you feel as if the crust is browning more rapidly than the candy is melting, you can tent some foil over the edges of the crust.
Do not let your pug have any, no matter how nicely he asks.
A note on dosage:
This recipe is “dosed” with 1 teaspoon of cannabutter per serving (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon). The strength of your finished product will depend on many factors, including the type of marijuana you used and how you made your cannabutter.

Cannabis Pop Tarts
Makes 4 (recipe can be doubled)
For the pastries:
1 portion unbaked pie dough (the same amount you’d use for a single-crust pie)
Sprinkles, for garnish (I used a mix of green tinted edible glitter and rainbow nonpareil sprinkles)
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 8 inches by 12 inches. Cut the dough into 4×3-inch portions (basically, divide the dough into 8 equal-sized rectangles).
3. Place four of the rectangles on your baking sheet. Smear the center of each one with a teaspoon of cannabutter.
4. Directly on top of the cannabutter, spoon your desired filling, leaving blank space along the perimeter of each pastry. Avoid fillings that are too thin, or they may leak out of your pastries. I used fairly thick caramel sauce, which was probably about the thinnest consistency that would work for these pastries.
5. Brush the “naked” portions of the pastry with your egg wash.
6. Place the second batch of pastry rectangles on top of each topped pastry portion. Press down on the edges to ensure that the egg wash helps form a seal. Gently press the tines of a fork into the edges of each pastry to further ensure a seal. Poke the top of each one once or twice with the tines of a fork to let steam out. If desired, you can use the remaining egg wash to brush the tops of the pastries.
8. Make the icing. In a large bowl, use a fork or whisk to whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk or cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix until no lumps remain and it’s a thick but still pourable icing. Spoon some on top of each pastry; directly after icing, apply sprinkles (they will stick best while it’s still wet and slightly sticky). Let the icing set, and enjoy!
Store leftovers in a single layer, well wrapped, at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
