Didnt make firecrackers correctly

I was just on vacation on the east coast. Had a good half O of mid and a good eighth of dank. It was gorgeous. I found a really cool stoner chick and we made edibles in my beach house. I grinded as fine as possible with my hands to powder, and then decarbed at 230 for 22 mins. It was in a glass bowl laid flat and covered with airtight foil. Then we pulled it out and put extra fatty and oily peanut butter (i bought one that had the most oil on top and fat content) on graham crackers. This is where i fucked up i think.| We were stoned and were just making them. I forgot to mix the bud in with the peanut butter. We just sprinkled it on and sandwiched it. Then wrapped those airtight in foil. I mixed 3g between 4 sandwiches evenly. So like .7 on each one or so. When we pulled them out they were cooked and the crackers were perfect, a few mins from burnt so extra toasty. Most of the pb fell to the foil and was melty, under the cracker was cooked. Though it was just a thin layer and the weed wasnt really mixed in with it. So I dont think it bonded to too much fat sadly. The weird part is that when they came out I tasted them with my finger and could feel the effects of the edibles. Its different from smoking high cause its the body high and feeling in your chest. So I thought these were gonna be super strong as I only tried a corner and it felt like it hit me. I was kinda scared to be honest because I didnt wanna overdo and and I was already super stoned from the bud and hot sun.
I should have ate them all at once. I didnt wanna get too stoned so ate one over like 30 mins, then another and then finished the last one a few hours after that. I felt them but I didnt get the euphoria I guess you could say. I ended up falling asleep very deeply for a couple more hours till i woke up from the edible haze. It wasnt really strong though, something that even felt good or would knock me on my ass. Just made me tired. The bud is very decent and I only need a hit or 2 to get me nice during the day. I gave her one, and had 3 myself.
Do you guys have any perfect recipies? This was actually my first time I decarbed, so I thought it was going to be perfect. Unfortunately I think I ate them way to far apart so I got very little effects stretched out, if that. I was thinking of making some more soon. And when I woke up from sleeping after the edibles, for some reason my body really loved it. It felt very refreshing and good inside. Very healthy. The reason im opting for firecrackers is cause they're quick and easy, and ive made them before. I can look into cannabutter if its easy and doesn't require anything besides a pot and bud. I also have a huge jar of coconut oil that would be awesome. What do you guys think

Fire crackers are hit and miss and should be eaten with fatty foods. Even the fatties peanut butter is going to be about 4 grams of sat fat per cracker or gram where as with butter its one ounce per pound of butter or 8 grams of sat fat per gram of weed. So butter is better. BTW I get the best nights sleep using eatables too.

Cannabutter is a really good and always comes out potent if you do it the right way and cook it in a croc pot on low or "warm" setting for 6-24 hours.
Recipe off the top of my head
1 lb of butter for an ounce of good ground up cannabis or 1.5 ounces of trim/shake
Take your weed and grind it SUPER fine, like in a food processor or finely chop dry buds with a sharp ass knife until really fine
Spread it out on a cookie sheet with foil on it and then once it's spread super thin then cover with another layer of foil (to keep vaporised cannabinoids in the weed and not in the air)
Cook at 240f for 30-60 minutes (60 minutes is best but it isn't nessasary) to decarb it
Then add a cup of watet and the butter into a small croc-pot (the water will prevent the butter and the weed from burning, we get rid of it in a later step_
Add the decarbed weed, mix thoroughly and then cover and set to low if you're cooking it for only 6-8 hours or "warm" if you're cooking it longer. The longer you cook it, the stronger the cannabutter.
Then you can literally add it to almost anything. Just a piece of toast, or an entire dish. Perhaps a plate of cannafudge? You just substitute cannabutter for normal butter or oil in a recipe and presto! Just make sure whatever you're making doesnt get too hot or else you will destroy the cannabinoids in the butter

whoa! That recipe seems super perfect except the decarb. I guess if it works, it works..
I decarb mine much less time, at a lower temp. Like 5-10 mins with the oven setting near warm. This was for an old oven, newer ovens have better controlled temperatures. If you read the temp on an old oven on the inside, it gets to 240 when it's set to 100 or warm, easily!

Yeah that's the problem with the oven, temperatures can fluctuate quite a bit. Luckily your cannabinoids wont start vaporising until it hits at least 300f so as long as your oven isnt too janky then it should be fine. I used to decarb for only 15-20 minuttes but the extra 10-15 minutes really helps extract all of your cannabinoids and turn them into active droogs. There was some really in depth edible research done by some folks and they basically tested what the perfect duration and temperature to decarb at, and the best way to infuse the weed into something. They determined 60 minutes at 240f is the "perfect" enviornment where they had almost all the weed decarb with almost no losses (but ofc they had a good oven, lab grade most likely).
I also forgot to add what to do with it when it is done. While it is still liquid (warm), strain it through cheesecloth to get any bits of weed out. Then put in a small span and put it in the fridge to set for an hour or two. Once the butter sets, it will float on top of the water. You simply just carefully lift out the butter and wash it with cool clean water. Then you can store it in the fridge or freezer. Keep in mind though that an ounce of good weed in 1 lb of butter makes some POTENT edibles, probably 100mg each or so. So if your weed was decent and you were patient, 1 serving is more than enough even with a tolerance.

hmm, I may have to try again with a longer decarb and see what happens.
Edit: Ohh and btw op, I bet your oven was too hot during decarb and screwed it up. Or possibly since edibles take some time to hit you, you fell asleep before getting the good effects.

I never mix the weed, I just sprinkle ground up and it's fine.
