These are super fudgy, chewy brownies from scratch and worth the effort. They pack a full ten tablespoons of cannabutter into an 8×8 pan and the cocoa sets off the cannabis flavor nicely.

A chewy, fudgy brownie using cannabutter.
Ingredients
- 10 T cannabutter
- 1 1/4 C sugar
- 3/4 C cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/2 t vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 C flour or 1/4 C flour and 1/4 C cannaflour
- 2/3 C walnut or pecan pieces
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
- In a medium heatproof bowl set in a wide skillet of simmering water melt the cannabutter. Add sugar, cocoa, and salt mixing well. Stir from time to time until the mixture is silky smooth and hot. Remove the bowl from the skillet, cooling slightly.
- Stir in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one.
- When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until well mixed, then beat for an additional 40 strokes. Stir in the nuts, if using.
- Spread evenly in the lined pan.
Bake 25-30 min at 325ยบ, until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist. Let cool completely on a rack.
- Using the parchment paper, transfer brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 25 pieces.
About how strong is each portion here? I have a fairly high tolerance and have had difficulty finding edibles that work. Using the cannabutter recipe you have on here, this would be fairly expensive to make and I want to make sure it’d be worth it for me before dropping $$$
I’m calculating my cost based on using 22.45% THC bud
Hi Molly: Everyone’s tolerance is different, and I’ve personally found that I develop a tolerance to edibles very quickly. Our canna-butter recipe is very strong indeed- if you don’t grow your own, it can get very expensive to make yourself if you had to buy the bud from a grower or collective. I believe our canna-butter recipe would produce approximately 55-60 mg THC per Tablespoon of butter, based on 50 grams flower at 20% THC content. One brownie has 1 Tablespoon of butter, so it would be quite a ride with 55-60 mg THC in a single edible. Of course, your results may vary depending on tolerance, body chemistry, etc, etc… Best of luck, and please let us know how it turns out for you!
