Dark chocolate and a little spice give this brownie its character. Keep the optional nuts and milk separate until you know whether the batter needs them.

THE WEED SCENE RECIPE

Adult Weed Brownies

Oven350°F
Bake20–25 min
Pan9 × 13 inches
CutAbout 20 squares

The plant quantity belongs to the whole pan. Square size and the amount of cannabis do not establish THC per piece. Nutmeg and cinnamon amounts are not specified.

Ingredients

Dark chocolate, butter, sugar, four eggs, flour, vanilla, spices and ground dried herb material
Have the eggs and flour ready before taking the chocolate mixture off the heat.

Instructions

  1. Dark chocolate and butter melted together in a saucepan

    Melt the chocolate and butter

    Melt the butter over low heat. Add the cubed dark chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.

    Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, white sugar and the listed vanilla.

  2. Flour being folded into dark chocolate brownie batter

    Mix the batter off the heat

    Remove from the heat before beating in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth.

    Stir in the flour and finely ground cannabis. Optional: fold in ¼ cup chopped nuts; if the batter is difficult to stir, add a small dash of milk.

  3. Glossy brownie batter being spread in a greased rectangular baking pan

    Spread the batter and bake

    Pour into a greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

    Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 20–25 minutes, checking that the center has set. Baking may take longer depending on the pan and oven.

  4. Dark brownies being cut into squares after cooling

    Cool before cutting

    Let the brownies cool before cutting into about 20 similar-sized squares. Count the actual pieces before estimating THC per piece.

Adult Weed Brownies

Mix gently, then bake

Stir the melted butter and chocolate until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour and finely ground cannabis. Use the listed 9-by-13-inch pan: a deeper layer changes how long the center takes to bake.

Let the center set

Begin checking at twenty minutes. The listed twenty-to-twenty-five-minute bake is a guide, not a guarantee for every pan and oven. Cool before cutting about twenty similar-sized squares; count the pieces you actually make.
