3 Extra-Special Recipes for Weed Brownies

'Special Brownies' have been a staple of marijuana edibles for decades. But after 40 years, your basic weed brownie recipe is, let’s face it, boring. And while a basic bud-brownie recipe is a good way to experiment with cooking with cannabis, we here at Leafbuyer would like to elevate your pot-brownie palate. So, I present you with three extra-special weed brownie recipes you can break out for extra-special occasions.

Keep in mind, just like a good cookie recipe, all three of these recipes require Cannabutter; a pre-infused and properly decarboxylated source of THC. More information on making cannabutter can be found here.

Parting Words

Cooking with cannabis is a learnable science and new THC-infused ingredients, such as canna-flour and canna-chocolate, are being introduced which allow a lot of experimentation. You should have a basic understanding of THC edible dosing before you treat your friends to a bad experience from an overly potent portion.

The good news is, that practice makes perfect and the brownies from these recipes will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
