- 3/4 cup Evaporated Milk
- (optional) 1/2 cup chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips
Directions

- Melt cannabutter in a large mixing bowl
- Add cake mix, evaporated milk and nuts/chocolate (optional), and combine it into a thick batter.
- Spread batter into an ungreased 13″ x 9″ baking pan. It will be pretty thin, but should fill the whole pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until edges start pulling away from the sides and the center is set.
- Cool in pan on wire rack and cut into 15 squares
Dosing Info
If you’re unsure of your tolerance with cannabis edibles, only eat 1/2 or 1/4 of a brownie until you’ve better tested your tolerance.
It can take 2-3 hours for a brownie (or any cannabis edible) to set in, especially on a full stomach, so it’s not recommended to eat more edibles in that period. You can always eat more edibles, but you can’t take them back!
Note: The best weed brownies start with high-quality cannabutter! If your cannabutter isn’t great to start, your brownies won’t be as good as they could be. Learn how to make the best weed butter so you know the exact potency you’re working with!
