I’d never had a cannabis brownie before, so making one was always on my bucket list. Since you can customize them however you want, I thought ube would be perfect. Originally, I wanted to make cannabutter so I could use it for future desserts, but the dispensary already had cannabis infused chocolate. I figured I’d just grab that save me some time. Cannabutter is basically weed infused butter made using flower. I forgot how much a full flower cost and I didn’t want to break my wallet. This brownie was for new years day so I thought it would be a perfect dessert! We played board games, ate a bunch of finger food and watched top gear. I never seen it before but all of my friends say that it is a late night show that pops up when the kids are suppose to be asleep. it is basically just old men driving cars, it is actually so funny. Back to the chocolate! The chocolate worked pretty well. I do wish they had white chocolate, but they only carried milk chocolate. It was super easy to use: I just followed a normal ube brownie recipe and substituted the chocolate used for the fudge with my cannabis chocolate. The whole bar was 500g, which is kind of insane lol. I only used 1/4 of it in the full batch, so about 125g. Typically, a decent serving is around 5–15g depending on your tolerance. To make the fudge portion, I had to melt the chocolate and this is where I might have messed up. When heating cannabis directly, you’re not supposed to use too much heat or you’ll burn the potency out. I used the broiler method to melt the chocolate, and I think it was too hot and i left it on for too long. When everyone ate the brownies, we had to eat a lot to really feel anything. We definitely felt something, but it wasn’t as strong as I expected. Considering the whole batch had 125g and four of us ate about 80g total, that’s roughly 20g per person. Either way, they were so good. I never realized how easy it is to substitute cannabis chocolate into desserts. You can basically use it in any recipe, which is why I originally wanted to make cannabutter. You can swap it in for regular butter. You could probably even make pot chicken if you really committed to it. This recipe gets 5 cactuses. The brownies themselves were thick, chunky, and chocolatey, but not the melty fudge texture I was hoping for. I definitely want to try another fudge style recipe where the chocolate really melts because that sounds amazing. Also, this recipe was not from The Unlikely Baker, which honestly surprised me since I usually love all of their recipes, especially for ube.
