Brownies – Brownies is a well-known treat in the recreational marijuana community. You can buy any brand of brownie mix to use for your marijuana brownies. Instead of butter, you will be using the canna butter. Cooking times and temps will remain the same, just as they are provided on the brownie mix box.
Cookies – The great thing about making marijuana cookies is you can go the extra mile and cut each of the cookies into the shape of cannabis leaves, which your friends will get a kick out of. Plus, when they are in this shape, there will be no confusing them with plain cookies! Chocolate chip cookies are a popular choice. You are going to follow the directions on the box.

Ohio Buckeyes – Ohio Buckeyes are just the thing for a real sweet tooth. To make them, you want to mix a 16 oz. can of creamy peanut butter with a 1 lb. bag of powdered sugar and 1 cup of the canna butter. Mix the mixture together with your hands until everything is mixed completely. Roll balls in the palm of your hand to about the size of golf balls, and set them on wax paper. Put them in the fridge to cool. Melt a bag of milk chocolate chips and a quarter of a bar of candy wax in a pot on the stove. When chocolate is melted, dip the balls into the chocolate, one at a time, with a toothpick. Set them back on the wax paper. When finished, put them all back in the fridge to cool. Once they are cooled, you will have a fantastic treat.
