Russel's Brownies

My neighbor brought over some brownies. He is a young fellow, maybe in his early twenties. I don't think he has a job, because he spends his days shooting hoops in his driveway or sitting in his car. Even on the hottest days, his car windows are rolled up. But he doesn't drive anywhere, so I don't think he has a job. Maybe he works at night? Who knows, it's a tough economy.

Anyways, he is always nice to me and my family. He knows I like to cook, so he brought over some brownies the other night. He said they were the best brownies he has ever had and I just had to have a taste. So I did. Boy was he right!!!! They were amazing!!!! The kind of dessert that can change the course of your entire day. They were euphoric. Chocolatey, sweet and had some ingredient in them that I just couldn't pin point. Nevermind that though. Who cares? They were delightful.

My neighbor, his name is Russel by the way, gave me the recipe after I begged him for it. He said the secret ingredient was something called cannabis. He said it is a kind of plant. Anyways, he told me this cannabis stuff would be hard to find in the store and he said he would bring me some that he had in his window well garden. The kid must have a green thumb to be able to grow things in his window well! If you have a hard time finding cannabis in your grocery store, you might want to try a specialty store.

Here is Russel's recipe. Try it, you'll LOVE it!



3/4 cup butter
1 oz cannabis
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
4 1 oz squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts

Set the oven to 250 degrees F. Spray an 8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

In a small skillet, melt butter. Once melted, add cannabis and cook until fragrant. Strain leave out of butter and set butter aside, discarding leaves.

In a large bowl, combine the butter mixture, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in unsweetened chocolate and vanilla until well blended. Mix in the flour, and then the walnuts. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

April Fool's, you fool. Like I would really post a recipe for pot brownies. I've never smoked a joint in my life. My mom on the other hand...

Rookie's Notes: This was a stock photo, not my own. And Megan wants you to know she thought of this idea. She said I had to credit her for it. And then I told her she was an attention whore.
