Yo, Sid here. I just whipped up a batch of the absolute holy grail of edibles—classic, fudgy cannabutter brownies. They are insanely rich, have that perfect crinkly top, and honestly, nothing beats the nostalgic vibe of a proper homemade pot brownie.
**Ingredients:**
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) of cannabutter (see steps below to make this)
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp baking powder
**Steps:**
1. **Decarb first:** Don't skip this! Spread 7-10g of ground raw flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes. This converts the non-psychoactive THCA into active THC.
2. **Infuse the fat:** THC is fat-soluble (not water-soluble), so you need a carrier fat like butter. Simmer 1 cup of butter with your decarbed flower on low (160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2–4 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain through a cheesecloth. (Save the extra 1/2 cup of butter for next time!).
3. **Mix:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk 1/2 cup of your melted cannabutter with the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
4. **Bake:** Fold in the cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan and bake for 20-22 minutes. Let them cool completely before slicing into 16 even squares.
**A quick heads-up:** Edibles take 30–90 minutes to kick in because your liver has to process them first. If you're new to this, start with a small piece (aiming for about 5-10mg THC) and wait it out before grabbing seconds. Label your batch clearly, and keep them far away from kids and pets! — Internet of Pot
