Brownies are the classic edible, and this pot brownies recipe makes a fudgy 8-by-8 pan from scratch with cannabutter. Bake it for National Brownie Day, an unofficial food holiday on December 8, or any day, but do the dose math first.
Pot Brownie Dosage, Square by Square
The pan's 8 tablespoons of butter split their THC across 16 squares, so swapping some cannabutter for plain butter lowers the dose. Using an example butter of about 35 mg per tablespoon (see the recipe card):
| Cannabutter | Plain butter | THC in the pan, at most | Per square, at most |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tbsp | 7 tbsp | 35 mg | about 2.2 mg |
| 2 tbsp | 6 tbsp | 70 mg | about 4.4 mg |
| 4 tbsp | 4 tbsp | 140 mg | about 8.8 mg |
| 8 tbsp | none | 280 mg | about 17.5 mg |
Real amounts run lower. Cut the full grid before serving, and estimate your own butter with our cannabutter guide and THC dosage guide.
What You Need for This Pot Brownies Recipe
Cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt form the dry mix; white sugar sweetens, and brown sugar adds a fudgier chew. Add 2 eggs, vanilla, softened butter and any crushed mint chocolate. Out of cannabutter? Order flower ahead from the High Society menu, then grab it in store or curbside.
How to Make Pot Brownies
Beat the softened butters with both sugars until smooth, scraping the bowl so the THC spreads evenly. Add the eggs and vanilla, fold in the dry mix until just combined, and spread the batter to an even depth so corners match the middle. Bake until just set; cool before cutting.
Box-Mix Shortcut
Short on time? Use a box mix and replace the oil or butter it calls for with the same amount of an infused blend, such as melted cannabutter or canna-oil topped up with plain. Divide the THC you added by the number of pieces, then cut exactly that grid.
Storage and Labeling
Airtight at room temperature, squares keep a few days; for longer, wrap and freeze them. Mark the container "THC" with today's date and the milligrams per square, and store it up high, apart from regular sweets. Poison center data from 2017 to 2021 show that nearly all reported edible exposures in children under 6 happened in a home. If a child gets into them, Poison Help is free and open around the clock at 1-800-222-1222. Michigan lets adults 21 and older give cannabis to other adults 21 and older, within legal limits, if nothing comes back in return and the gift isn't advertised. Only licensed businesses may sell it, so never sell your brownies.
