Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, friends, and welcome to episode 298.
And today we are doing popcornmarshmallow treats.
Welcome to Bite Me, the showabout edibles, where I help you
take control of your high life.
I'm your host and certifiedgonger, margaret, and I love
helping cooks make safe andeffective edibles at home.
I'm so glad you're here andwelcome back, friends, to
(00:29):
another wonderful episode ofBite Me, the Show About Edibles,
a podcast that helps cooks makegreat edibles at home and
explores the intersection offood culture and cannabis.
What are we making today?
Well, I'm glad you asked and,of course, you listened to the
intro, so I know you alreadyknow that 298, it's hard to
believe I'm about to push 300episodes, but today we're doing
(00:51):
popcorn marshmallow treats intoday, except for me to say that
if you haven't consideredjoining the Bite Me Cannabis
Club, head over to joinbitemecomand check it out, because I am
(01:12):
really excited and proud of thespace that has been created over
there, and I would love to saythat I created it, but, of
course, it's only with the helpof the people who are
participating in that communitythat makes it so wonderful.
So it's not just me, but it isa wonderful way for me to
connect with you listeners in aplace where we can talk about
cannabis and edibles openly,without the restrictions that
you find on a lot of socialmedia platforms, unfortunately.
(01:33):
It's a cool space, so I hopeyou'll consider finding me over
there as well so we can continuethe conversation.
Now, with that out of the way,I just want to say thank you for
listening as well.
If you're just joining us forthe first time, I'm really glad
that you found the show and Iwould love to hear where you're
listening from, and if you'vebeen here for a while, I
appreciate you.
It's listeners like you thatmake this all worthwhile, and
(01:56):
oftentimes I talk to otherpeople who are doing work
similar to my own, some kind ofI hate the word content creation
, but you know podcasters,youtubers, book authors there's
all sorts of people out therewho are making things in the
world for other people to enjoy,and the question often comes up
why do you keep doing it?
I'm not alone in this that manyof us feel that it's the
(02:21):
connection with the people thatyou're working for, and, in a
sense, it's when you get thatemail from somebody who said hey
, I just found your show and I'mreally enjoying it.
It's when that person joinsyour community and starts to
participate in and is obviouslygetting a lot of value in out of
it.
It's the messages that youmight get on some social
platform, where somebody findssomething that you posted and
(02:44):
shares how it impacted them, andthese are the reasons why we
keep going and that's the reasonwhy I keep going.
So thank you for those who arealong the ride, who are on this
journey with me, because when Istarted out almost six years ago
, did I think that I would stillbe doing this today and that I
would have people joining alongfor the ride?
No, and I'm figuring it all outas I go.
(03:06):
I am literally figuring out asI go, because it seems like
every time I figure somethingout, the rules change, so it's a
challenge.
Of course, I'm sure youprobably feel the same way when
it comes to using a lot of yourown softwares and services that
we have to engage with every day, but it can be challenging and
it's a little less lonelybecause of the Bite Me Cannabis
Club.
Thanks for being here.
(03:27):
I appreciate you.
Now you may be wondering what'sa popcorn marshmallow treat?
Well, I'm so glad you asked,because that's why we're here
today.
So remember a few weeks backwhen we really got into the
science of the perfect popcorn.
Now, partly that was because Ihad just done a deep dive into
(03:49):
making ghee and you can use gheeto make popcorn and I have
since made so much popcorn, myfriends, I have made popcorn
with I can't remember if I'vementioned this on the show, I
feel like I might've.
But to recap, I've made popcornwith ghee, with olive oil.
But, to recap, I've madepopcorn with ghee, with olive
oil, with butter and with beeftallow.
Actually, I haven't tried itwith olive oil yet.
(04:11):
I'm sure that would be anotheroption.
The avocado oil seems to be oneof my favorites, just because
the oil sits right above thestove and it's easy to grab and
it has a high smoke point and ithas a nice flavor and, of
course, if you want to infuse it, you can cook your popcorn in
the oil.
The butter was the worst ofthose that I mentioned actually.
(04:32):
So if you want to use aninfused butter or an infused oil
to drizzle over top afterwards,that's your best bet as far as
that goes.
But we really got into it andI've been enjoying making
popcorn pretty regularly.
There's something really funabout making it in a pot and
doesn't necessarily take a lotmore time than making it in the
microwave or an air popper Notreally.
And the microwave popcorn Ihave thoughts about that.
(04:54):
I'm not really a big fan.
There seems to be a lot ofwaste and always has a certain
flavor, there's a certain taste.
So, in any case, we got intopopcorn making at episode 293.
And then, for episode 297,which was the episode just
before this one, we got intomaking marshmallows from scratch
(05:14):
, something I've never donebefore and I've since made a
couple of times.
Two is an essential guide tomaking tinctures how to make
them, how to use them, how todose them.
That was episode 296.
So today, prepare yourselves, myfriends, because these three
paths converge into one glorious, crunchy, chewy, perfectly
(05:36):
dosed treat infused popcornmarshmallow bars.
They are like rice crispytreats, but with the superior
texture of popcorn.
I think the popcorn is reallynice, surprising way to change
up that recipe.
You may be asking but, margaret, why?
Why does this work?
Why would I want to swap out myRice Krispies for popcorn?
Well, popcorn is salty andcrunchy, and the marshmallows
(06:04):
are all sweet, and you mix themall together and you end up with
this salty, sweet, crunchy,chewy bar and it hits all the
notes and it's easier than youthink, of course, and it's super
customizable, like all thethings I love to do on this show
.
Now remember on our chat aboutpopcorn, the best popcorn for
(06:25):
the job.
You want something that's goingto hold up to the marshmallow
goo.
Honestly, that's pretty muchany popcorn.
I did recently buy popcorn at alocal shop that I tend to
frequent to buy my vegetablesand eggs and whatnot, and I
bought GMO popping corn.
It seemed fancy but it wasreally partly the convenience
(06:46):
and I do try and buy localwhenever I can and I think this
was a local kernel maker andthere was a couple of different
kinds that I got and one waslike a mushroom style popcorn.
I forget the name of it exactly.
If I had thought ahead, I wouldhave gotten out the package and
had a quick click at it beforeI started this episode, but when
I asked what the difference was, the shopkeeper hi, sam, if you
(07:06):
ever happen to listen to this,she's lovely and her husband,
anthony, from the food shop.
But she explained that thepopcorn that style popcorn just
sort of opens up more and almostlooks like a big mushroom top.
So I did not use that one.
I used a regular popcornbecause I didn't necessarily
want the popcorn that I'mswapping out for Rice Krispies
to be like super large, and soyour basic popcorn is going to
(07:33):
work really well.
For this.
You don't necessarily wantheavy butter or salt before
mixing, so you can kind of skipthat part, just pop your popcorn
.
You can do it air popped.
You can use microwave popcorntoo, of course, or your stove
top, which is what I did.
But what you really want to tryand do is get out those
unpopped kernels as much aspossible, because I did leave a
(07:53):
few of those in, and that wasthe one drawback that I didn't
really like is sometimesspitting out a couple of popcorn
kernels.
But I do find also, when youcook it on the stovetop, you get
a lot.
You get fewer unpopped kernels,especially with anything but
the butter.
Honestly, the butter was theworst for making the popcorn in
Again, as I just mentioned.
Better for drizzling on top,not for actually cooking the
(08:14):
popcorn in Again, as I justmentioned, better for drizzling
on top, not for actually cookingthe popcorn in.
So try and get out thosekernels.
Now, of course, you're going tobe binding all this together
with melted marshmallows andsome butter.
So if you've infused yourmarshmallows, that is one way
that you can have thatincorporated into this recipe.
But you can also just useinfused butter or infused butter
(08:38):
for this too, because you takeI believe it was, I don't have
to guess, I have it right here.
I pulled up the ratios that Ihad written down A half cup of
butter, and you can use yourinfused butter.
A ratio of infused to regularbutter, depending on your
tolerance preferences.
A half a cup of butter can bequite a bit, depending on how
strong it is.
(08:58):
So do be mindful of that.
I hope you've done yourcalculations and a pound of
marshmallows in a large saucepan.
So, depending on where you arewith your um marshmallow making
process I mean, sometimes youdon't even necessarily have to
let the marshmallows set ifyou're going to be doing this,
(09:20):
but I did, of course, because itmakes more than you're going to
use.
So this is another infusionpoint.
You might have infusedmarshmallows, maybe you're just
going to buy store-bought, youcan keep it really simple.
But these were just some ideasbecause you know, you've made
your popcorn, you've triedmaking marshmallows.
Now you can combine the two, orit's just inspiration for which
to do so, because maybe youhave marshmallows and you're
like what the hell do I do withthem all now?
Besides, just eat them, whichis a completely acceptable thing
(09:43):
to do, and I think I mentionedin that episode last week how
many marshmallows I did eat.
If you've popped your popcorn,I mean that's going to take five
minutes on the stovetop, youdon't even have to let it cool
and then you melt yourmarshmallows and the butter
(10:04):
together, and here you can useinfused butter.
But you could also use thetincture as well.
You could add the tincturewhile you're stirring in the
butter marshmallow mix if youwould prefer to use the tincture
instead of the butter in thebutter marshmallow mix.
If you would prefer to use thetincture instead of the butter,
it'll work in this as well.
But you just need to make surethat everything is going to mix
well and it's going to blendbeautifully without adding.
(10:25):
If you use a tincture insteadof the butter, I mean you're
already adding butter.
So I mean you don't really haveto worry about fat content per
se.
But using a tincture is notgoing to add extra fat or make
the treats too greasy and allowfor precise dosing, which we
always love to talk about, butknow your tincture's potency or
your butter, depending on whichway you're going.
Maybe you can do both.
(10:46):
I am still in the process oftrying to make the freezer
tincture, so that is going tohave less flavor than a regular
tincture, so bear that in mind.
But I do find, with the popcornand the marshmallows together,
that it's pretty good at maskingsome of that flavor.
So basically, it's just likemaking rice krispies, and the
reason I kind of like this in away is because I can make the
(11:09):
marshmallows, I can make thepopcorn.
I don't tend to go out and buymarshmallows or rice k Krispies.
I don't really eat that muchcereal anymore.
Cereal cereal, I don't know,depends on how you say it tomato
, tomato.
I kind of gave up on cereal along time ago because I remember
buying it when my kids werestill at home and just being
overwhelmed every time I had togo to the grocery store and buy
(11:30):
cereal because so much of it ismarketed as, like this, healthy
thing to eat, but yet it has gotso much sugar in it it would
make your head spin.
Of course there's always thetypes that are overtly sugar
laden and you're like then therewas a thousand options of that.
Like so many grocery stores,there's an entire aisle
dedicated just to cereal, and Ijust got to the point where it
(11:51):
was just like fuck it, I'm notjust going to buy any of it and
I've kind of stuck with that.
I do enjoy the occasional bowlbecause, if I'm being completely
honest, my dad does buy it andoccasionally eats cereal, and
maybe twice a year I too willhave a bowl, but that's about it
.
So if you're not really wantingto go out and buy a box of Rice
Krispies just to have it sit onyour shelf until the next time
(12:12):
you make a Rice Krispie tweetMaybe you do it pretty regularly
, I don't know, this can get youaround that Just make popcorn
instead, and you.
So you make your popcorn andthen you're going to take your
half cup of butter with yourpound of marshmallows.
You're going to melt them onthe stove together.
You're going to infuse them,depending on your preference,
maybe the infused butter, maybethrowing in some tincture and
(12:34):
then you're going to throw inyour popcorn, mix it all
together and press it into a pan.
Now, I did put mine in therefrigerator.
You almost don't need to.
I found that you could probablyjust leave it out at room
temperature.
It almost made them harder toget out of the pan, like it
really did stick.
But you're going to have a nicecrunchy, sticky marshmallow
(12:57):
treat with this and it comestogether pretty quickly and of
course, it is endlesslycustomizable, so you could mix
in things as well once it'scooled a little bit, so that
they don't necessarily melt Minichocolate chips, sprinkles,
chopped nuts, pretzels, driedfruit, you could add the peanut
(13:22):
chocolate M&Ms as well.
For something a little bitbigger, you can drizzle it with
chocolate on the top afterwards.
And if you're looking forsomething again with a higher
potency, maybe adding infusedchocolate to the top is a way to
sort of move it into a higherpotency range.
For those who need that youcould drizzle.
(13:43):
You could sprinkle some seasalt flakes on top, crushed
candies.
There's all kinds of things youcould do, which is kind of what
makes something like this fun,and I would encourage you to
experiment and share your combos.
I love to see how people getcreative with this kind of thing
.
Now, of course, adding all thesegoodies doesn't necessarily
(14:03):
change the dose per square, butit might make them more tempted
to folks.
So please don't forget to label, label, label, as always In the
community.
Recently, one of our memberssaid that they always make their
edibles in a shade of green,and I thought that was really
clever.
Now, this doesn't necessarilyprotect those who are maybe new
(14:23):
to the household, but how manypeople do you have that are new
coming over and opening up yourfridge and consuming something
without you knowing about it?
But to all those people thatlived in the household hi, wayne
, this was your trick.
They knew that if there was atreat in the fridge and it was
green, that you had to becautious because it was infused
with cannabis.
(14:44):
So this is another way to sortof indicate to people who may be
getting into your goodies thatthey should proceed with caution
.
Maybe ask about it.
I always do like to put themilligrams per serving on a
label anyway, but this isanother way to further encourage
people to ask more questionsbefore consuming without thought
(15:05):
.
So there's always ways to makethe labeling process a little
less boring, if you will.
One of those also might beusing molds that have some kind
of cannabis pot leaf motif orsomething like that, so that
people also know.
I always find, when it comes tolabeling the more little touch
points you have to indicate thatsomething is infused, the
better.
So the overt, like you know,this has so many milligrams per
(15:28):
milliliter or per serving orwhatever in it is excellent.
But then just having the visualof like a cookie in the shape
of a pot leaf or something madethat has green food coloring or
some kind of green color to it,so that those it's just an extra
layer of protection, so I loveto see how creative people get
(15:48):
with that kind of stuff too.
If you have been making popcornor you've been making
marshmallows and some tinctureand you are looking for ways to
use it all, you can try thisparticular recipe out and I
would love to hear how youcustomize it.
Or maybe you don't.
You can always tag me at BiteMe Podcast on the gram.
That seems to be where I'm mostactive as far as the social
(16:10):
platforms Find me inside theBite Me Cannabis Club.
I, of course, will link to allthe episodes that I've mentioned
in this, because I did mentionthree and you can find them in
the show notes over onbitemepodcastcom.
And someone might ask could Iuse colored marshmallows?
You could try it with caramelmarshmallows or other flavored
marshmallows if you wish.
(16:31):
You're going to get a bit of adifferent flavor profile.
So just keep that in mind.
But luckily, popcorn, much likeyour Rice Krispies, is going to
work with a lot of differentflavor profiles.
So just make sure that youinfuse the fat and the tincture
as carefully as you wouldotherwise.
And what about flavored popcorn?
If you were purchasing popcornand maybe you know, I think
(16:52):
flavored, I think the caramel, Imean you could use a caramel
popcorn with marshmallows, andthat would actually be probably
good too, but I'm also a caramellover, so keep that in mind.
Cheese popcorn, I mean, I don'tknow, I tend to make my own
popcorn, but I have seen lots ofpopcorn on the store shelves,
and the cheese one is one youmight find most commonly and I
somehow I don't know if thatwould work.
(17:13):
I don't.
That doesn't sound like itwould appeal to me.
The cheese popcorn andmarshmallows yeah, it might go
well with a caramel, a caramelpopcorn, but I'm not so sure
about the, about other flavorslike cheese or dill or like.
I know there's differentflavors you can probably get out
(17:34):
there.
So maybe stick to the sweeterones, but to each their own.
If you try it out and it works,let me know.
I would love to hear it.
So next week we are going to becontinuing the conversation
about tinctures.
I know this one was a littlemore low key in a lot of ways.
I'm going to be using thecannabis tincture to make
(17:55):
another recipe, but this time inthe realm of a beverage.
So stay tuned for that.
Next week I'm really excited toget back into making more
beverages.
I kind of I made some over thewinter, but there's something
about beverages in thesummertime.
That's it for this week.
My friends, get popping, getmelting, get mixing.
Show me your lovely creations.
I would love to see them.
And then, of course I don'tknow if I've mentioned this
(18:18):
before there is abitemepodcastshop where you can
get Bite Me merchandise.
That is correct.
You can tell the world thatyou're a listener of Bite Me,
the show about edibles.
Head over there and check itout, something fun that I've
been playing around withrecently.
Until next week, my friends,I'm your host, margaret.

kernels.
But I do find also, when youcook it on the stovetop, you get
a lot.
You get fewer unpopped kernels,especially with anything but
the butter.
Honestly, the butter was theworst for making the popcorn in
Again, as I just mentioned.
Better for drizzling on top,not for actually cooking the
(08:14):
popcorn in Again, as I justmentioned, better for drizzling
on top, not for actually cookingthe popcorn in.
So try and get out thosekernels.
Now, of course, you're going tobe binding all this together
with melted marshmallows andsome butter.
So if you've infused yourmarshmallows, that is one way
that you can have thatincorporated into this recipe.
But you can also just useinfused butter or infused butter
(08:38):
for this too, because you takeI believe it was, I don't have
to guess, I have it right here.
I pulled up the ratios that Ihad written down A half cup of
butter, and you can use yourinfused butter.
A ratio of infused to regularbutter, depending on your
tolerance preferences.
A half a cup of butter can bequite a bit, depending on how
strong it is.
(08:58):
So do be mindful of that.
I hope you've done yourcalculations and a pound of
marshmallows in a large saucepan.
So, depending on where you arewith your um marshmallow making
process I mean, sometimes youdon't even necessarily have to
let the marshmallows set ifyou're going to be doing this,
(09:20):
but I did, of course, because itmakes more than you're going to
use.
So this is another infusionpoint.
You might have infusedmarshmallows, maybe you're just
going to buy store-bought, youcan keep it really simple.
But these were just some ideasbecause you know, you've made
your popcorn, you've triedmaking marshmallows.
Now you can combine the two, orit's just inspiration for which
to do so, because maybe youhave marshmallows and you're
like what the hell do I do withthem all now?
Besides, just eat them, whichis a completely acceptable thing
(09:43):
to do, and I think I mentionedin that episode last week how
many marshmallows I did eat.
If you've popped your popcorn,I mean that's going to take five
minutes on the stovetop, youdon't even have to let it cool
and then you melt yourmarshmallows and the butter
(10:04):
together, and here you can useinfused butter.
But you could also use thetincture as well.
You could add the tincturewhile you're stirring in the
butter marshmallow mix if youwould prefer to use the tincture
instead of the butter in thebutter marshmallow mix.
If you would prefer to use thetincture instead of the butter,
it'll work in this as well.
But you just need to make surethat everything is going to mix
well and it's going to blendbeautifully without adding.
(10:25):
If you use a tincture insteadof the butter, I mean you're
already adding butter.
So I mean you don't really haveto worry about fat content per
se.
But using a tincture is notgoing to add extra fat or make
the treats too greasy and allowfor precise dosing, which we
always love to talk about, butknow your tincture's potency or
your butter, depending on whichway you're going.
Maybe you can do both.
(10:46):
I am still in the process oftrying to make the freezer
tincture, so that is going tohave less flavor than a regular
tincture, so bear that in mind.
But I do find, with the popcornand the marshmallows together,
that it's pretty good at maskingsome of that flavor.
So basically, it's just likemaking rice krispies, and the
reason I kind of like this in away is because I can make the
(11:09):
marshmallows, I can make thepopcorn.
I don't tend to go out and buymarshmallows or rice k Krispies.
I don't really eat that muchcereal anymore.
Cereal cereal, I don't know,depends on how you say it tomato
, tomato.
I kind of gave up on cereal along time ago because I remember
buying it when my kids werestill at home and just being
overwhelmed every time I had togo to the grocery store and buy
(11:30):
cereal because so much of it ismarketed as, like this, healthy
thing to eat, but yet it has gotso much sugar in it it would
make your head spin.
Of course there's always thetypes that are overtly sugar
laden and you're like then therewas a thousand options of that.
Like so many grocery stores,there's an entire aisle
dedicated just to cereal, and Ijust got to the point where it
(11:51):
was just like fuck it, I'm notjust going to buy any of it and
I've kind of stuck with that.
I do enjoy the occasional bowlbecause, if I'm being completely
honest, my dad does buy it andoccasionally eats cereal, and
maybe twice a year I too willhave a bowl, but that's about it
.
So if you're not really wantingto go out and buy a box of Rice
Krispies just to have it sit onyour shelf until the next time
(12:12):
you make a Rice Krispie tweetMaybe you do it pretty regularly
, I don't know, this can get youaround that Just make popcorn
instead, and you.
So you make your popcorn andthen you're going to take your
half cup of butter with yourpound of marshmallows.
You're going to melt them onthe stove together.
You're going to infuse them,depending on your preference,
maybe the infused butter, maybethrowing in some tincture and
(12:34):
then you're going to throw inyour popcorn, mix it all
together and press it into a pan.
Now, I did put mine in therefrigerator.
You almost don't need to.
I found that you could probablyjust leave it out at room
temperature.
It almost made them harder toget out of the pan, like it
really did stick.
But you're going to have a nicecrunchy, sticky marshmallow
(12:57):
treat with this and it comestogether pretty quickly and of
course, it is endlesslycustomizable, so you could mix
in things as well once it'scooled a little bit, so that
they don't necessarily melt Minichocolate chips, sprinkles,
chopped nuts, pretzels, driedfruit, you could add the peanut
(13:22):
chocolate M&Ms as well.
For something a little bitbigger, you can drizzle it with
chocolate on the top afterwards.
And if you're looking forsomething again with a higher
potency, maybe adding infusedchocolate to the top is a way to
sort of move it into a higherpotency range.
For those who need that youcould drizzle.
(13:43):
You could sprinkle some seasalt flakes on top, crushed
candies.
There's all kinds of things youcould do, which is kind of what
makes something like this fun,and I would encourage you to
experiment and share your combos.
I love to see how people getcreative with this kind of thing
.
Now, of course, adding all thesegoodies doesn't necessarily
(14:03):
change the dose per square, butit might make them more tempted
to folks.
So please don't forget to label, label, label, as always In the
community.
Recently, one of our memberssaid that they always make their
edibles in a shade of green,and I thought that was really
clever.
Now, this doesn't necessarilyprotect those who are maybe new
(14:23):
to the household, but how manypeople do you have that are new
coming over and opening up yourfridge and consuming something
without you knowing about it?
But to all those people thatlived in the household hi, wayne
, this was your trick.
They knew that if there was atreat in the fridge and it was
green, that you had to becautious because it was infused
with cannabis.
(14:44):
So this is another way to sortof indicate to people who may be
getting into your goodies thatthey should proceed with caution
.
Maybe ask about it.
I always do like to put themilligrams per serving on a
label anyway, but this isanother way to further encourage
people to ask more questionsbefore consuming without thought
(15:05):
.
So there's always ways to makethe labeling process a little
less boring, if you will.
One of those also might beusing molds that have some kind
of cannabis pot leaf motif orsomething like that, so that
people also know.
I always find, when it comes tolabeling the more little touch
points you have to indicate thatsomething is infused, the
better.
So the overt, like you know,this has so many milligrams per
(15:28):
milliliter or per serving orwhatever in it is excellent.
But then just having the visualof like a cookie in the shape
of a pot leaf or something madethat has green food coloring or
some kind of green color to it,so that those it's just an extra
layer of protection, so I loveto see how creative people get
(15:48):
with that kind of stuff too.
If you have been making popcornor you've been making
marshmallows and some tinctureand you are looking for ways to
use it all, you can try thisparticular recipe out and I
would love to hear how youcustomize it.
Or maybe you don't.
You can always tag me at BiteMe Podcast on the gram.
That seems to be where I'm mostactive as far as the social
(16:10):
platforms Find me inside theBite Me Cannabis Club.
I, of course, will link to allthe episodes that I've mentioned
in this, because I did mentionthree and you can find them in
the show notes over onbitemepodcastcom.
And someone might ask could Iuse colored marshmallows?
You could try it with caramelmarshmallows or other flavored
marshmallows if you wish.
(16:31):
You're going to get a bit of adifferent flavor profile.
So just keep that in mind.
But luckily, popcorn, much likeyour Rice Krispies, is going to
work with a lot of differentflavor profiles.
So just make sure that youinfuse the fat and the tincture
as carefully as you wouldotherwise.
And what about flavored popcorn?
If you were purchasing popcornand maybe you know, I think
(16:52):
flavored, I think the caramel, Imean you could use a caramel
popcorn with marshmallows, andthat would actually be probably
good too, but I'm also a caramellover, so keep that in mind.
Cheese popcorn, I mean, I don'tknow, I tend to make my own
popcorn, but I have seen lots ofpopcorn on the store shelves,
and the cheese one is one youmight find most commonly and I
somehow I don't know if thatwould work.
(17:13):
I don't.
That doesn't sound like itwould appeal to me.
The cheese popcorn andmarshmallows yeah, it might go
well with a caramel, a caramelpopcorn, but I'm not so sure
about the, about other flavorslike cheese or dill or like.
I know there's differentflavors you can probably get out
(17:34):
there.
So maybe stick to the sweeterones, but to each their own.
If you try it out and it works,let me know.
I would love to hear it.
So next week we are going to becontinuing the conversation
about tinctures.
I know this one was a littlemore low key in a lot of ways.
I'm going to be using thecannabis tincture to make
(17:55):
another recipe, but this time inthe realm of a beverage.
So stay tuned for that.
Next week I'm really excited toget back into making more
beverages.
I kind of I made some over thewinter, but there's something
about beverages in thesummertime.
That's it for this week.
My friends, get popping, getmelting, get mixing.
Show me your lovely creations.
I would love to see them.
And then, of course I don'tknow if I've mentioned this
(18:18):
before there is abitemepodcastshop where you can
get Bite Me merchandise.
That is correct.
You can tell the world thatyou're a listener of Bite Me,
the show about edibles.
Head over there and check itout, something fun that I've
been playing around withrecently.
Until next week, my friends,I'm your host, margaret.
