Unfortunately for me, I don’t live in a state where it’s legal to celebrate 4/20 by getting good and stoned. But, many of you may not be in that same boat. As of now, 33 states have legalized medical marijuana, and 10 of those states have legalized recreational weed as well. That’s definitely something to celebrate! And what better way to do so than with some slow-cooker stoner snacks?
If you’ve ever been stoned—in a state where it’s legal, obviously—you know the snack cravings are very, very real. They come on quick, and they’re relentless. And, if you’re not prepared with some truly delicious sweet and savory treats, you might find yourself going to town on whatever’s in your pantry (plain crackers, jars of peanut butter, years-old pancake batter, etc.), only to find yourself totally unsatisfied afterward.
To get ahead of the inevitable snack feast, pick some delicious stoner snacks to whip up in your slow-cooker. You can throw it together ahead of time and keep it warm until you’re ready for it, without running the risk of burning the house down by turning on the stove or oven while you’re stoned. Below, you’ll find options for every kind of craving, from sweet to savory to spicy.
