What Bud should we use to pair this recipe?

By using the strains finder we can search for cannabis flowers that match your preference. You can find strains higher in CBD or THC or choose a calming Indica, an uplifting Sativa, or even a hybrid.

I like to use strains with funky terpenes, there’s no need to hide the funky notes. Strains like Blueberry Cheesecake or Strawberry Cheesecake go well not only because of their name, but also because of their strong savory terpenes. Indulge in the delightful fusion of rich, caramelized flavors with the magical essence of cannabis.

Happy snacking!
