Brownies for Beginners ... done right in a couple of hours

Well folks, I am sitting here with a nice batch of snacks baking in the oven right now so I thought I would be kind and share so that all you kids out there can bake up some killer Beginner Brownies.

Now the recipe is for Beginner Bakers, but don't be fooled - you need to be able to handle your herb cuz the effect is not a beginner's buzz!

Made from a store-bought Brownie Mixâ?¦

Ingredients

- ¼ oz Good Bud
- 1 packaged Brownie Mix for an 8â?� x 8â?� baking pan (in this example I used Chocolate Lovers Double Fudge Brownies Mix)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 jar of pre-made Chocolate Frosting (optional)

Step One: Make the Canna Oil

Clean all of the bud, removing stems, seeds, and sun leaves. Place the seeds aside if you are so lucky to find good ones. I recommend using a large plastic plate (or Frisbee like I do) to separate the bud from the stems and a mixing bowl to hold the cleaned bud.

Place the cleaned bud in a coffee bean grinder and grind it into a fine powder.

Take the amount of oil specified in the store-bought brownie mix (I use organic coconut oil - high sat. fat :thumbsup:, but not a GMO - genetically modified food), and add it to a stainless steel sauté pan on medium heat. Stir in the green bud powder as the oil is heating up, reducing heat to medium-low and cooking it for a total of 20 â?? 30 minutes. Make sure you reduce the heat early and cook the bud oil slowly. Do not let it heat to the point where the oil is smoking or the bud turns dark brown or black. The oil should be a greenish brown color and the bud material a golden or medium brown at most.

Alternatively you can use the same method I do if you have a crockpot - check out Flameon's HOW TO post here·

IMPORTANT: LET THE OIL COOL FOR A WHILE BEFORE ADDING IT TO THE MIX OR IT MAY REACT BADLY WITH THE WATER AND EGG. YOU DON'T WANT A FRIED EGG IN YOUR BROWNIES!

Optional: strain the oil through a cheesecloth, or add the unstrained bud oil to the brownie mix (which is what I do as long as I don't see any big ass stems or pieces in the oil) and follow the directions on the Brownie Mix package.

Step Two: Make the Brownie Mix

Preheat oven to 325 degrees while greasing the bottom of the 8â?�x8â?� metal baking pan. I use butter rather than shortening.

Combine the Brownie Mix, eggs, water, and fudge packet with the Green Bud Oil in the mixing bowl and stir by hand (for approximately 50 strokes) until well blended. Do not over blend or mix it too much.

Pour the brownie mix into the 8â?�x8â?� metal baking pan and distribute the mix evenly with a spatula or spoon for best results.

Place the baking pan in the 325 degree preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 â?? 40 minutes in a conventional oven, or 30-35 minutes if using a convection oven.

TIME OUT, GOTTA RUN REAL QUICK, THE TIMER WENT OFF AND THEY GOTTA COOL!! :stoned:

Remove brownies and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. In other words cool to the touch on the bottom of the pan.

Step Three: Finish the Brownies and Enjoy!

Take a spatula and run along sides of pan to separate the cooled brownie from the pan. Remove from baking pan by turning upside down over a plate or cutting board.

Optional: When brownie is completely cooled, spread on frosting generously or to suit your individual taste preference. Place the brownie in refrigerator to set up frosting.

Cut the 8â?�x8â?� brownie into 16 equal pieces in a 4x4 pattern. This is a 16 serving recipe.

Each delicious brownie is good for 4-6 hours. Two brownies can be a bit too much, but some people like to go for it, so give it a try and have fun! Personally, I recommend starting with ½ brownie, wait 2 hours, then consume more if you are not feeling the effects you desire.

These are very good for pain relief and insomnia, as well as relief from anxiety if you consume in moderate amounts. WARNING: Overconsumpation can result in a 'bad trip' and cause anxiety and related issues. Go slow until you know your personal tolerance!

That's it gals and guys. You just made MVP Beginner Brownies! I'll post pics from my crappy little camera phone in a bit... Enjoy!

brownie mix and good saturated fat, such as clarified butter or coconut oil

pic 2
crockpot and cannabis grinder. looks just like a coffee grinder but only has 1 use - your cannabis

pic 3
the oil after cooking. notice the small stems floating that I removed later with chop sticks... dont't want that in there

pic 4
pour it in the pan, spread it out, and watch it while it bakes... stick around and make sure it turns out okay, don't go goof off

Bang on job!

Coconut oil, brownies and good weed, a perfect combo! How many did they make?

ok, just followed this recipe....they're cooling as I type. i'll report back in a couple of hours as to the effects (if i'm able to type LOL)

Thanks man! My boyfriend and I are trading off stirring the saucepan gently as I speak. We didn't use quite as much bud - probably about a 20 bag - and ground it up in a coffee grinder, scooped out the keif and threw that in there, too. It smells nice, and the oil is starting to turn greenish. We looked all over in our store, but couldn't find coconut oil - we're using veggie oil instead. 14 grams of fat per tablespoon :)

That and some Ghiradelli Double Chocolate brownie mix...we'll report back and let you know how it turned out.

Oh yum! The Ghiradelli Double Chocolate is what I made 3 weeks ago and they were damn delicious! :thumbsup:

I myself am just about to woof down one of the brownies that I made the other night when I wrote this post. I havn't been able to set aside 5-6 hours since then, which is what you need to be prepared for when you 'take flight'...

I'M REPEATING THIS TO BE CLEAR AND SAFE:
If you are new to edibles just be aware that they take much longer to kick in and have a much longer effect as well. In other words, oral ingestion creeps up on you!

I recommend starting with ½ brownie (based on 1/4 oz per batch), wait 2 hours, then consume more if you are not feeling the effects you desire. If you use less bud in the mix then apply common sense and adjust accordingly.

It is easy to say about an hour later, "This is having no effect, so I'll have just one more"... this is not a good idea as most effects intensify 2-3 hours after ingestion. Just be aware that overconsumpation can result in a 'bad trip' and cause anxiety and related issues. Go slow until you know your personal tolerance!

Enjoy!

So here is what's going on: I decided to go to the gym and run errands before sampling the brownie (for obvious reasons). I got back and showered and ate 1/2 brownie at 6pm on a relatively empty stomach.

Background:
1/4 of good buds in brownie batch
baked in 8 in x 8 in pan, then cut into 16 pieces
I ate 1/2 brownie so I have 15 1/2 pieces left
The Math shows that each brownie contains 0.44 gram, so I ingested approx. 0.22 gram

Personally, I prefer to gauge the effectiveness of the treat on an empty stomach b/c my system is much more responsive in this manner. In other words I know what situation I will get myself into if I have one after watching football and drinking beer all day, or if I eat a bowl of cereal early in the morning and then want a brownie a couple of hours later.

So right now I am feeling a little heady, craving a little more high - NOTE: This is the point where a lot of newbies screw up and munch down another one. Resist the urge! If you are 2-3 hours in and the effects havn't accelerated to the point where you are really, really buzzed THEN go ahead and have another 1/2 piece.

I'll check in about 8pm to give another update.

OK, its now a bit after 830pm and I got hungry a little after 7pm and got a bite to eat. I'm still feeling kinda heady but not the body effects I normally do by now. I made this batch of brownies from the branches/buds that were KO-ed by the "Falling Cola" (read more), so they are a bit premature but still sticky and smelly.

So no surprise now - I decided to take another 1/2 brownie. Going into this I guessed the partially mature buds would be heady and I would need to go for whole brownie. I've decided that is the case so I now will see what this other 1/2 does and post again sometime...

MVP :jointsmile:

Wow, that other 1/2 brownie had me couchlocked by 10pm and I was out like a light by midnight. Good stuff, next time I'm gonna eat a whole brownie about an hour after a decent meal and see how it works out for me.

Anyone else give this a try yet? What did you experience?

MVP :jointsmile:

We put in way more weed than was advised, two small brownies each did the trick so well I was unable to come back and post yesterday. Took it easy this morning and had a half a brownie and a nap, waking up high is a surreal experience. Thanks for this wonderful treat.
