Chef TokeShare
If you're looking to combine your love for sweet treats with cannabis, weed brownies are a classic and easy edible to try. Whether you’re new to edibles or a seasoned pro, this guide will walk you through the process of making your own batch at home.
What You'll Need
Ingredients:
- ½ gram - 1 gram of dabs (wax, shatter, or another concentrate)
- ¼ cup coconut oil or butter (for infusion)
- 1 box brownie mix (and ingredients listed on the box, such as eggs or water)
Tools:
- Small saucepan or double boiler
- Mixing bowl and spoon
- Baking pan
- Parchment paper
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Dabs
Dabs need to be decarboxylated (activated) to work in edibles:
- Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
- Place your dabs on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. This process converts THCA into active THC.
Step 2: Infuse the Oil or Butter
- In a saucepan or double boiler, heat your coconut oil or butter over low heat.
- Add the decarboxylated dabs and stir until fully dissolved. This typically takes about 5-10 minutes.
- Let the infused mixture cool slightly before using.
Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Mix
- Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box. Replace the butter or oil in the recipe with your infused oil or butter.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure the THC is evenly distributed.
Step 4: Bake and Cool
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake according to the brownie mix instructions, typically for 20-30 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
Using Flower Instead
If you’d prefer to use traditional cannabis flower:
- Decarboxylate: Grind your cannabis and bake it at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes.
- Infuse: Simmer the decarbed cannabis with butter or oil on low heat for 2-3 hours, then strain out the plant material.
- Use the infused butter/oil in your brownie recipe, just like you would with dabs.
While using flower works just as well, it requires more time and effort due to the need for straining plant material.
Tips for Success
- Dosage: Adjust the amount of dabs or flower based on your tolerance and desired potency. Start small!
- Even Mixing: Thoroughly mix your infused oil or butter to distribute the THC evenly across the brownies.
- Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container in a cool, dark place—or freeze them for longer storage.
