The Mystery Baking Co. is bringing innovative, new and medical marijuana infused ideas to classic treats and delicious dishes, and takes a certain amount of creative inspiration from the mildly psychedelic cartoon “Scooby-Doo, Where are You!” which originally debuted in 1969. That makes sense, being that the creator and owner goes by “Scooby” and has since before he can remember. Scooby wasn’t always a creator of cannabis infused edibles – once upon a time he was producing music events and hip-hop concerts, and doing fun runs wearing a full size Scooby- Doo costume.

When he decided to begin producing edibles way back in 2010, it was out of necessity. Scooby had been in a bad car accident and the actual Mystery Machine van he drove was totaled, his back was hurt badly and he was left in terrible pain. There weren’t affordable edibles on the market at the time and the few things that were available were too expensive. He got some good cannabis and made his own infused butter at home which he consumed everyday. It worked and in time his back stopped hurting. He needed relief for his pain and started making his own because he needed them but it got him thinking…. “Who else out there needs this?”.

He made the decision to share his creation with the patients who were going to medical dispensaries. At the time, it seemed natural enough to start by making “Scooby Snacks,” which were marshmallow and cocoa puff treats infused with canna-butter. Things went well, and Scooby continued producing events and making and selling Scooby Snacks to dispensaries. As the years went by and the industry continued to change and evolve, he noticed certain trends come and go. There seemed to be a lot of “edibles” but a lack of “spreadables.” Patients seemed just as interested in getting the butter fueling the Scooby Snacks as they were in the actual products, and if people wanted the butter, there was a really good chance they’d want evenmore.

After carefully considering all the different spreadable options he had to choose from, Scooby settled on producing a line of four infused spreadable products: Butter, Peanut Butter, Honey, and Hazelnut Spread. Each container is 4 ounces and every 4 oz contains 300mg of tetrahydrocannabinol.

Scooby’s passion for edibles led him to sending his entire crew to culinary school in Southern California, where Award Winning Chef Susan Holtz from The Baking and Cake Art Academy was their mentor. “Not only did she teach us recipes and how to work the kitchen but she also showed us how to work under pressure and kitchen etiquette,” Scooby said.

The world of medical cannabis edibles isn’t always easy to predict and regulations arein a seemingly constant state of flux and change. Despite these truths, it definitelyseems like more and more people are going back to infusing their own food at home or hoping to incorporate medicine into actual meals, which is easier said than done for many people.

Mystery Baking Co. as the first companywe ever knew of to do a Hazelnut Chocolate Spread. Nutella really seemed to get popular in the last few years, once it was prominently featured on The Great Food Truck Race on The Food Network and crepes began to grow in the American mainstream. The hazelnut chocolate spread is made by taking cocoa powder and mixing it with hazelnuts, sugar, vanillin and skim milk until it becomes a paste- like spread, then it’s ready to be infused. In addition to THC, Mystery Baking Co. is also doing CBD infused versions of their spreads.
