1. Cannabis-Infused Brownies
Ah, the classic! You can’t talk about cannabis treats without mentioning brownies. These rich, fudgy bites are a go-to for a reason—easy to make and even easier to enjoy!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup of cannabutter (recipe below)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
- Melt your cannabutter in a medium-sized pot over low heat.
- Mix the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted cannabutter until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into your greased baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool before slicing into small, manageable squares—remember, start slow with cannabis edibles!
How to Make Cannabutter:
- Melt 1 cup of butter on low heat and stir in 1/2 ounce of decarboxylated cannabis (bake your ground cannabis at 240°F for about 30 minutes). Simmer for 2-3 hours, strain, and chill!
2. Cannabis-Infused Gummies
For those with a sweet tooth who love a little burst of flavor, cannabis-infused gummies are the way to go! Plus, they’re super easy to make and store.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fruit juice (your favorite flavor)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 3 tbsp gelatin (or agar-agar for a vegan option)
- 2-3 tsp cannabis tincture (depending on potency)
- Silicone gummy molds
Instructions:
- Heat the fruit juice and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the gelatin (or agar-agar) until fully dissolved. Stir in the honey or sugar.
- Remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly before adding your cannabis tincture. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into your silicone molds.
- Chill the gummies in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until set.
- Pop them out of the molds and enjoy!
Pro Tip: Store your gummies in an airtight container in the fridge. These little guys are strong, so again, start with a low dose!
