In the cannabis industry\u2019s plight to be more mature, more refined and more sophisticated in hope of mainstream acceptance (which is a good thing), some of the culture\u2019s traditions have been thrown to the wayside for seemingly greener pastures. There\u2019s nothing wrong with growing up and leaving some things behind \u2014 like the dated misconception that all smokers are lazy, dumb stoners with no future \u2014 but there\u2019s also no shame in staying true to things that have stood the test of time (and criticism) to remain relevant, reliable and really good. Like special brownies.<\/p>\n

The classic brownie recipe is a simple jewel of a dessert made with eggs, butter, sugar, plain flour, baking powder and cocoa powder or melted chocolate. It\u2019s one of those foods lots of people have had more times than they can count with little to no variations on the recipes. Why fix what\u2019s not broken, right? Of course, it\u2019s always fun to put a creative spin on a beloved classic<\/a> to remind you why you love it and how it can somehow get even better.<\/p>\n

Whether you like your brownies chewy, fudgy or cakey, here\u2019s your chance to bring it back into rotation with a little bit of style and few minor twists. For the following ideas on how to liven up the classic brownie, you\u2019ll be using cannabis-infused butter<\/a> like the one in this easy recipe in place of regular butter. Use this as a springboard for your own creative ideas while you hunt for the perfect recipe for your tastebuds.<\/p>\n

Brownie purists will appreciate this simple way to add another layer of flavor without overpowering the original taste of the desert.

Blackberry Cheesecake Brownies<\/a><\/h4>\n

Combine the best of both dessert worlds with this two-in-one treat that pairs a creamy layer of cheesecake with fresh (or thawed frozen) blackberries over a chocolatey brownie base. If you\u2019re not a fan of blackberries, you can use the berry of your choice or skip the fruit altogether.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie Swirl Brownies<\/a><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s a little early for the annual return of all things pumpkin-flavored but that just means you will have time to perfect this recipe. Use canned or fresh pumpkin puree with some cinnamon, nutmeg and few other ingredients to swirl into your brownie batter before it goes in the oven to bake.<\/p>\n

S\u2019mores Brownies<\/a><\/h4>\n

This version of the brownie is almost like a pie with it\u2019s buttery, graham cracker crust and warm, gooey layer of marshmallow topping. It\u2019s also a good substitute for the real thing when you\u2019re craving a sweet snack that\u2019s a little more substantial than the original version.<\/p>\n
