Great Brownies from 1st time cook

smokeman · #1 04-02-2007, 01:46 PM

My wife and I are long time smokers and recently have been getting brownies from a dispensary. The brownies were awesome, so I decided to try my hand at making my own. This was my first time ever cooking with marijuana. Below is the recipe I used. (Thanks to all the other posters on this site. I used the knowledge from you guys to make these.)

Marijuana Butter Ingredients
I Pound of Butter
Half Ounce of high-end bud (about $200 of OG Kush)
Water

Brownie Ingredients
One package of Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mix. Chocolate Chunk
Half Pound of Marijuana Butter (Instead of 2/3 cup oil)
3 Table Spoons of Water
4 Eggs
1 Cup extra Hershey Chocolate Chips

Tools used
Crock-pot
Mesh strainer
Cheese Cloth
Candy Thermometer
Tupperware container (Round – which holds 7 cups)
Large liquid measuring cup made of glass
13 X 9 inch brownie pan
Pam cooking spray

Making the Marijuana Butter
1. Broke up the marijuana into very small pieces. I used scissors.
2. Filled the crock pot with 4 cups of hot water and set the crock-pot on low.
3. Put the pound of butter in crock-pot, which melted quickly.
4. Once the butter was fully melted, I stirred it with the water.
5. Checked the temperature with candy thermometer, which read 200 degrees.
6. Added the marijuana to the crock-pot, and stirred.
7. Watched it about an hour, stirring occasionally and checking the temperature.
8. Left it to simmer for 3 more hours, totally cooking time in crock pot = 4 hours.
9. Came back and stirred for a few more minutes. (Temp still at 200 degrees)
10. Put the cheese cloth in the mesh strainer and set the mesh strainer over the Tupperware container.
11. Poured the butter, water, marijuana contents into the cheese cloth in the mesh strainer.
12. The Tupperware container filled up about 80% of the way.
13. Squeezed the cheese cloth tightly to get all of the butter out.
14. Put lid on Tupperware container and put it into the freezer.
15. Left container in freezer for 4 hours.
16. Removed container from freezer, the butter had hardened and the water was just becoming icy. The butter was on top forming a disc and the water was at the bottom of the container.
17. Poured out the water and lightly scraped the bottom of the marijuana butter disc. (A little plant matter stuck to the bottom of the butter)
18. Put the frozen marijuana butter back into the (cleaned) crock-pot with two cups of water.
19. Let the marijuana butter melt fully into the water, and stirred.
20. After the marijuana butter was fully melted and mixed with the water, I poured it back into the (cleaned) Tupperware container and put it back into the freezer.
21. Once the marijuana butter was frozen again I took out the container, poured the water out and lightly scraped the butter again.
22. The marijuana butter was really clean at this point.

Making the Brownies
1. Preheated oven to 325
2. Took ½ pound of the frozen marijuana butter and put it in a glass measuring cup.
3. Started a large pot of simmering water (just below boiling).
4. Put the glass measuring cup with the marijuana butter in the pot of water. (Making a sort of double boiler)
5. The marijuana butter melted quickly in the measuring cup.
6. Put the brownie mix, four eggs, three table spoons of water, a cup of extra chocolate chips and half pound of melted marijuana butter and mixed all together in a large bowl. Stirred well.
7. Sprayed 13 x 9 inch brownie pan with Pam cooking spray.
8. Poured brownie mix into pan.
9. Cooked for 28 minutes.
10. Made 12 big brownies.

Eating
I ate 1/3 of one brownie, which hit me 60-90 minutes later. It knocked me on my ass. I fell asleep for about 2 hours, and my high remained for another 3 hours after I woke up. My wife, who has a higher tolerance than me ate about a third and it got her like a kite.

The guy at dispensary said that to use schwag and that to use the premium buds was a waste. After making some myself, I have to disagree. The brownies I made at home were about 4 times stronger than the ones we buy at the dispensary (and they charge $15 per brownie). I can usually eat a half to a full dispensary brownie and still function. Now I know just to nibble on these babies slowly. It’s a nice way to keep a light to medium buzz throughout the entire day. Next time, I am going to use an ounce of schwag for a pound of butter and compare the two.

Notes
I should have used gloves when squeezing the butter remains from the cheese cloth. I got slight burns on my palms.
I cooked the marijuana butter outside, and glad I did because it smelled strong.
I used 2 extra eggs to make the brownies thicker, and used extra chocolate chips because… well, I like chocolate.
I melted the butter with water twice to get it extra clean.
I baked the brownies at 325 instead of 350 because I was afraid to destroy the THC.

The brownies came out great.

Mc ...

Be careful when using schwag. Sometimes, eating that stuff causes terrible paranoia.

You're on the right track with the cooking though. You might try baking some of Betty Crocker's Peanut Butter Cookies next time. You would use a much smaller amount of your butter as the recipe only calls for 1/3 cup. But, you can grind between a quarter and three eights of premium bud into a powder in a coffee bean grinder and include that with the cookie mix flour before adding any of the wet ingredients. This makes 24 really potent cookies. A quarter cookie puts me on my azzzz.

PS: Give one of the cookies to the guy at the club. His mind will be changed about using schwag. *lol(*

A friend of mine gave me a quarter oz of Mexican schwag. Now, I didn't want to smoke the stuff because at the time I had JARS of quality buds of several different strains laying around. So ... I decided to bake cookies with the shit-weed instead of smoking it. How bad was the paranoia? Let's just say it was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD for about three hours. After that, I fell asleep and woke up in front of the TV four hours later and went to bed. For the first three hours I thought I was gonna die! No shit.
