420 Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

Happy 420!  In celebration of this marijuana movement holiday I made up a batch of these delightful 420 Strawberry Cheesecake Bites.  Packed with a double dose of medicated goodness these little treats will surely get your party started!

Here's what you'll need:

• 1/4 package of cream cheese (2 ounces)
• 1/4 Cup of Powdered Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 9 fresh ripe strawberries 
• 2 teaspoons of cannabis infused coconut oil (or Cannabutter)
• 1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 teaspoon cannaoil (or Cannabutter
• 6 chocolate candy melts (these are optional for putting a "lid" on your strawberries

Instructions:

1. Finely chop 3 of your strawberries.  Set aside.  
2. Carefully cut out the stem and core of the other 6 strawberries.  Place each berry with the cut side down on a cutting board.  Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl combine your cream cheese and infused coconut oil.  Blend until well mixed.
4. Drain any liquid that has accumulated on your chopped strawberries and discard.  
5. Add your chopped berries, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla and powdered sugar to your cream cheese/coconut oil mixture and blend well.  
6. Place mixture in fridge for about 15 minutes to set up.
7. Now fill your cored berries with the cream cheese mixture.  The easiest way is with a pastry bag or put filling in a ziplock bag, cut off a small amount from the corner and squeeze the bag to fill the berries.
8. Return your filled berries to the fridge to chill.
9. While your berries are chilling out place some wax paper on a plate or sheet pan.
10. To prepare the chocolate coating you will want to use a microwave safe mug.  Add your milk chocolate chips and your cannaoil into this mug.
11. Microwave this mixture in 30 second intervals stirring between each time until you have a smooth mixture.
12. Remove your filled berries from the fridge.  One at a time dip these into your chocolate coating mixture and place on your waxed paper plate or pan.  

**Optionally add 1 candy melt as a lid to your filling on each berry.

Return dipped berries to the fridge and allow to set up for 1/2 hour or longer.

Serve and enjoy!

Stay Safe & Have a Happy 420!
