However, it’s important to say a few things about HHC before we proceed to the recipes. Unlike THC, HHC is milder, so it won’t produce the strong psychoactive effects commonly associated with cannabis.
HHC might have a range of potential medical applications, such as relief from pain, anxiety, and inflammation. It’s also great for relaxation.
It provides a mild euphoric experience while also calming the body and mind. You can find HHC vape cartridges and edibles. However, you can also spice things up by adding HHC to your food and thus make delicious edibles.
There are countless HHC recipes available on the internet. Each recipe is different, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you want to prepare a regular meal enriched with HHC or craving something sweet, we’ve got you covered with these top five suggestions.

Last but certainly not least, chocolate chip truffles are another great idea where you can add HHC.
What you’ll need:
- 8 ounces of chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 3 1/2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon HHC extract
- Optional: ground almonds or shredded coconut for topping
How to prepare:
Warm the heavy cream without too much heat, so it doesn’t reach the boiling point. Stir in the vanilla extract, butter, and chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate melts completely.
Give the mix some time to cool before adding the HHC. Put the batter into the refrigerator for 30 minutes and stir it frequently as it cools down.
Once the dough is firm enough to form shapes, create bite-size balls with your hands. Finish the truffles by covering the balls with the selected topping and refrigerate before serving.
