Greetings fellow Atheists/Agnostics,
I've been spending a lot of time at home and cooking a lot as well since we are home due to this virus. I found a great recipe for cannabis brownies and wanted to share them. Please only make these if they are legal in your state, as I wouldn't want anyone to get in trouble.

For the Cannabutter:
The recipe calls for you to make your own cannabutter first. To make it do the following;
10 grams cannabis, 4 cups (960 milliliters) water, 2 1/2 sticks (10 ounces/284 grams) of unsalted European-style butter. I used Kerrygold.

For the Brownies:
1 stick (4 ournces/113 grams unsalted butter, 1/4 cup (57 grams) cannabutter, 12 ounces (340 grams) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped. I used Ghirardelli. 1 cup (213 grams) packed light brown sugar, 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, 4 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3/4 cup (90 grams) all purpose flour.

Step 1 make the cannabutter:
Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 250 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands or kitchen shears, break up the cannabis into small pieces or you could grind it coarsely in a food processor. Place the cannabis on the baking sheet and place in the oven and toast the cannabis for 30 min. until very dry.

Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cannabis with the water and butter. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat so the mixture is at a very low simmer and cook for 3 hours, infusing the butter. Check and add water as it evaporates. It's important to keep an inch or so of water on the bottom of the pan as it cooks. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 3
strain the mixture through cheesecloth or I used a fine mesh sieve placed over a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all the butter and liquid from the cannabis. Discard the cannabis it's now dead. Refrigerate the liquid for at least 45 minutes until the butter has solidified. Then lift the solid layer of butter from the water and discard the water. Using paper towels, pat the butter until dry. Cover and refrigerate until needed. I use some on my morning toast and my day starts off great.

Step 4
Make the brownies, position a baking rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly butter or spray a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Step 5
In a medium heavy saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and cannabutter. Add the chocolate and stir until it has just about melted. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt, and stir until thoroughly combined. Remove from heat, set aside and let cool. The chocolate should melt from the residual heat.

Step 6
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy, then whisk in the vanilla. Making sure your chocolate mixture is cooled, whisk it into the eggs. (if it's too hot it will scramble your eggs, so you should be able to touch the chocolate with your fingertip and it not burn you).

Step 7
Whisk the flour gently into the egg mixture just until combined and no clumps of flour remain. Do not over mix, the batter will be thick.

Step 8
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top just starts to crack and is glossy looking. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Be sure to mark that these have cannabis in them.

Enjoy! I loved these and hope you all will too.
