Brownies are a dessert staple, loved universally for their chocolatey goodness. But when you introduce cannabis into the mix, they’re suddenly a lot more intriguing, offering a delightful high along with their sweet taste. Enter the ‘DANK’ brownies – a recipe that has taken the internet by storm and spawned a multitude of opinions.
The Basic Recipe: Here’s the basic rundown:
- Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (and whatever else it requires)
- 28g of DANK cannabis buds
- Directions:
- Begin by breaking up the buds coarsely.
- Double the quantity of oil indicated on the brownie mix box and combine it with the cannabis in a saucepan.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Use a cheese cloth (folded four times) to strain the mixture, ensuring you squeeze out all the oil.
- Allow the oil to cool to room temperature.
- Proceed as per the brownie mix instructions, but use ALL the cannabis oil you’ve prepared.
- Add an additional egg for a fluffier texture, as the oil can make it a bit dense.
- Consider fudge or peanut butter as a topping for an enhanced flavor.

Users Weigh In:
- The consensus is varied. Some praise the potency of the brownies, claiming they are “sooo effin fire”. Another user tried a variant with the Betty Crocker mix and found 28g too overpowering for her friends’ tastes, while 14g was just right.
- Then there’s the debate on the method itself. One user suggested a double boiler method to maintain a consistent temperature. Others vouched for cannabutter as a more flavorful and efficient option.
- On the topic of the quantity, several users felt using an entire ounce (28g) of high-quality cannabis for brownies could be wasteful. Yet, some believed that there is no need for prolonged cooking, while others insisted on the importance of extraction.
- A quirky comment mentioned an immediate… physical reaction to the brownies. While it’s likely in jest, it’s a gentle reminder that the potency of edibles can sometimes surprise even seasoned cannabis enthusiasts!
- The term “DANK” itself sparked some clarification. While many equate it to high-quality weed, it technically refers to cannabis that’s been dried slowly and cured properly. The term emphasizes the potency and quality of the cannabis used.
Conclusion:
Brownies, when infused with cannabis, become more than just a dessert; they’re an experience. It’s essential to know your tolerance and adjust the recipe accordingly. Regardless of whether you’re team “double-oil” or team “cannabutter”, always consume responsibly.
Note: Cannabis-infused edibles can be potent, and their effects take longer to manifest compared to smoking or vaping. Always start with a small portion and wait before consuming more. Always ensure they’re out of reach of children and pets.
