Why stop at strawberries and apples? Invite a cornucopia of fruit to the chocolate dipping party!
You’ll Also Need:
Tip: Fruit should be as cold as possible for setting-up a hard coating, so it will need to stay chilled in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before dipping. If any fruit is rinsed or juicy, make sure it’s patted completely dry before getting started!
WARNING: Do not soak strawberries in ice water to retain freshness and moisture. We know that keeps the berries fresh, red and cold, but you won’t be able to dry the strawberry enough and it will cause the chocolate to seize.
1. Cut up an assortment of fruits to use in your bouquet, or use a shaped cookie cutter to form pieces. Also go ahead and insert the bamboo skewer into the pieces that need it for your bouquet.
2. Pat dry any pieces you plan to dip in chocolate. Make sure the fruit is as dry as possible!
3. Make or slowly melt pre-prepared Magical Chocolate in a double boiler.
4. Use the skewer that is inserted into the fruit like a handle and dip the fruit into the chocolate. Coat as much fruit as you wish. Tap the stick gently onto the side of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
5. Lay dipped fruit on a MagicalButter Baking Mat or waxed paper lined tray, or use a stand with the stick to allow the chocolate to remain upright during the hardening process. Be sure to work quickly during steps 4 and 5 since you want to move them to the fridge as soon as possible.
6. Let the chocolate set by placing it on a level shelf in the refrigerator until it is obvious that chocolate is hardened. This can take between 10-15 minutes.
7. Place a head of lettuce inside the container you will make your arrangement in. If the lettuce is too big, cut until it is the right size.
8. Push the other end of the bamboo skewer into the head of lettuce to affix it where you’d like it to be within the bouquet.
9. Continue placing skewers of fruit into the lettuce head at different angles until you have a full arrangement. Store in the refrigerator for best results.
Chef’s Note:
Shelf life is between 1-4 days depending on what fruit is being used in the bouquet. Strawberries only last about 1-2 days after being dipped, so if your bouquet includes them it will need to be made and eaten quickly.

The refined coconut oil used in Magical Coconut Oil has all of the healthy properties that you love in coconut oil, without any of the coconut flavor. This keeps the flavors of your infused chocolates tasting the way they are supposed to. The process of infusing herbs into coconut oil at home is quite simple. All you need are a few ingredients and you’re ready to infuse. With minimal effort, your oil will turn out delicious and can last a long time when stored properly.
1. Place the ingredients into your MagicalButter Machine, and secure the head.
2. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C. Then press the 2 Hours/Oil button.
3. After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance. Put on your LoveGlove, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through your PurifyFilter into a dark glass container.
* For best results do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to personal preference.
** Lecithin is optional but highly recommended. Lecithin is an emulsifier used in cooking and in the pharmaceutical industry for binding ingredients in lipids (butter, oils, and fats). It helps to increase the bioavailability of plant compounds in your high-lipid infusions, intensifying the potency of the resulting extracts. Lecithin can be made from soy, sunflower, rice, or egg yolk. It is available at your local health-food or vitamin store in the form of powder, granules, or liquid. Any type is sufficient except in capsules, because they contain too many binders and fillers. Soy lecithin powder is processed to eliminate compounds that may have estrogen-like effects. Lecithin granules are made from soy powder mixed with soy oil, so they may contain estrogen-like compounds. Because liquid lecithin is three times as potent as powder or granules (it’s also three times as messy), use only 1 teaspoon per cup of butter or oil for your extractions.
MagicalButter, also referred to as cannabutter, is a key ingredient in many medicated recipes. It’s one of the most common and easiest ways to create infused dishes for those who prefer dairy butter over oil.
1. Place the ingredients into your MagicalButter Machine, and secure the head.
2. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C. Then press the 2 Hours/Button button.
3. After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance. Put on your LoveGlove, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through your PurifyFilter into MagicalButter Trays, formed molds, or other storage container.
* For best results do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to personal preference.
** For optimal extractions and maximum potency, based on extensive kitchen trials, our chef now recommends clarifying your butter before adding it to the pitcher. To clarify, gently melt and simmer the butter, discard the milk solids and surface foam, and retain the clear golden liquified butterfat. You can also skip clarifying and simply use melted or softened butter. Do not use cold, firm butter.

MagicalButter Oil Concentrate, or MBO, can be added to increase potency to your base oils and butters or to any recipe in this book. Always be sure to carefully calculate milligrams per serving (we provide dosage information later in this section) and exercise caution when adding extra potency to your recipes using MBO. When making MBO, patience is essential—cook time will vary based on a variety of factors, like liquid volume, extraction density, and the need to reduce at very low temperatures.
* For best results do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to personal preference.
CAUTION: MATERIALS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. Could cause injury. Never use an open flame, natural gas or propane burner, or permit smoking around the cooking process
The proper kitchen tools enhance your culinary experience and set you up for success. These useful items help in creating our amazing MagicalButter Chocolate recipes.
MagicalButter Machine—The world’s first countertop Botanical Extractor is designed for creating fantastic recipes, infusing the essence of healthy herbs into butter, oil, grain alcohol, lotions, and more.
MagicalButter Baking Mat—Our flexible, non stick silicone mat provides a premium surface for baked goods, dipping chocolate and flash freezing fruit, fudge and meringues. It replaces parchment paper and greasy baking sprays. The MagicalButter Baking Mat dissipates heat rapidly to prevent burning and is perfect for preparing concentrates, candies, and hot foods.
MagicalButter Spatulas—MagicalButter Spatulas are perfect for all your mixing, scraping, flipping, and serving needs. Crafted from 100 percent pure silicone, these spatulas combine ergonomic design with flexibility and strength for maximum performance and durability. Comfort-handles provide a firm, non-slip grip. Silicone construction means maximal heat resistance to 500ºF/260°C and ease of cleaning.
MagicalButter Trays (MB Eat To Treat Gummy Tray, MB 21UP Square Medible Trays 8ML, MB 21UP Gummy Trays 2ML, MB Butter Tray)—MagicalButter Trays are made from flexible, nonstick silicone providing a premium mold surface for baked goods, gummies, and other candies. They are easy to clean, dishwasher safe, as well as stain and odor resistant. Our 21UP tray series clearly identify medicated butter as “for adults only” to help protect children from accidentally consuming medicated food.
DecarBox Thermometer Combo Pack—The DecarBox features an integrated digital probe thermometer and allows you to effortlessly activate fresh herbs to your specific desired potency during decarboxylation and baking.
The LoveGlove—Extremely durable, heat-resistant, 100 percent pure silicone for cushioned comfort, our five-finger glove features raised LoveGrip nubs for a non-slip grip that no mitt can match. It’s dishwasher safe, won’t absorb stains or odors, and allows you to safely handle food in boiling water, a hot oven, and even a BBQ grill. In addition, you can easily open tight jar lids and safely use harsh cleaners. While a LoveGlove is included with every MagicalButter MB2e, they are also sold separately.
Purify Filter—Durable, reusable 220, 190, 90, 73 and 25 micron filter bags allow your liquid to pass through while capturing sediment, which makes straining your infusions a breeze. The smaller the micron, the finer the pore size. For butters or thicker extracts, like those featured in this recipe book, 190 and 220 are great choices. While all MagicalButter MB2e models include a 190 Micron Purify Filter, Purify Filters may be purchased separately.
Double Boiler—A double boiler, or “bain-marie,” is used to gently melt ingredients for cooking and baking. When working with chocolate for candies and confections, a double boiler helps keep chocolate from scorching and burning. A DIY double boiler can be made by placing a pyrex glass or metal mixing boil over a pot of simmering water.
Whisk—A whisk can be used for general mixing purposes helping to smooth ingredients and is especially useful for incorporating air to fluff-up ingredient mixtures, this is called whisking, or “whipping.” Any metal whisk should suffice, but when whisking in non-stick pots and pans, choose plastic to protect the non-stick coating from nicks and scratches.
“Decarboxylation” is a long word for a simple process. To decarboxylate your herb, you just need to heat it. Applying a little heat to dried bud inspires some fascinating chemical reactions in the plant. Cannabinoids are chemicals found in the cannabis plant that bind to cells in the body to produce effects. Sometimes decarboxylation is called “activating” or “decarbing.” If you’re cooking with cannabis, it is highly recommended you decarboxylate before you begin making your edibles. If you ingest cannabis and want the full psychoactive effect, you need to first decarboxylate before cooking with the herb. Activating your cannabis prior to cooking ensures that T-C’s psychoactive and other cannabinoids’ (like C-D and C-N) potential are not wasted. If you don’t decarb before cooking, you risk losing potency and will not make the most out of your cannabis.
While 250°F/121°C is the optimal temperature to activate T-C, slightly higher temperatures (along with longer cook times) are effective at activating other beneficial cannabinoids like C-D and C-N, should you choose to highlight them instead. Please note that while higher temperatures/times help activate C-D and then C-N, each higher temp/time can also diminish the effect of a previously activated cannabinoid.
If you do not have a DecarBox, use an oven roasting bag or on a rimmed baking sheet. Make sure the pan is the correct size so there is not an empty space on the pan. Bake the cannabis for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so that it toasts evenly. When the cannabis is darker in color—a light to medium brown—and has dried out, remove the bag or baking sheet and allow the cannabis to cool. It should be quite crumbly when handled.
In addition to making deliciously infused edibles, one of the most important aspects of an enjoyable experience is to know your dose. The effects felt from eating cannabis vary greatly from vaping and smoking cannabis. In general, eating cannabis is more intense and the effects can last longer (several hours or more).
When cannabis is ingested, the primary psychoactive cannabinoid delta-9 T-C is broken down with enzymes and sent through the liver where it converts to 11-hydroxy-T-C. This active compound crosses the blood-brain barrier more easily causing increased psychoactive effects, especially when cannabis is infused into lipid-rich food like MagicalButter Chocolate.
When eating cannabis infused edibles, a useful reminder is to Start Low, Go Slow. And remember, not all strains are created equal!
