These bite-size, fudgy CBD brownies are ready to eat in less than 45 minutes, and they feature perfectly balanced flavors that mask the herbaceous characteristics of cannabutter.\r\n\r\nDon't worry if you end up with more brownies than you can eat, either. You can store these bite-size treats in the freezer and take them out as needed. Just thaw for a few hours in the fridge\u2014or enjoy frozen!\r\n\r\nEditor's Note:\u00a0<\/em>CBD<\/a> isn't legal in every state. Be sure you know local laws before making your own CBD brownies.\r\n

Oil vs. Cannabutter for CBD Brownies<\/h3>\r\nIn general, using oil creates fudgy brownies while butter makes cakey brownies. Either way works for this CBD brownie recipe because we use cannabutter that can be made with either butter or coconut oil for dairy-free brownies. Cannabutter is more economical than store-bought CBD oil<\/a>, and it can be stored in the freezer until you're ready to use it.\r\n\r\nIf you don't want to learn how to make cannabutter<\/a>, feel free to use your favorite CBD oil instead. Simply whisk the oil into the recipe alongside the vanilla extract<\/a>. Our recipe makes 36 bite-size brownies, so add the appropriate number of drops to reach your desired dosage.\r\n

We've also offered measurements in tablespoons and cups below, but using a scale is the best way to ensure the brownies will turn out with the perfect consistency.\r\n\r\nIt's best not to microwave the cannabutter, so we recommend using a double boiler to melt the butter or oil with the sugar and cocoa powder in the second step. A heat-proof bowl<\/a> set over a medium saucepan with simmering water does the trick nicely.\r\n\r\nFinally, you'll also need an 8x8 square baking pan<\/a> and some parchment paper to make it easier to release the brownies. You can use regular parchment paper or invest in square sheets<\/a> if you plan to bake brownies on the regular.\r\n
