Quick and Easy RSO Brownies: Your Guide to Decadent Cannabis-Infused Chocolate Treats

Brownies are one of the classic treats people think of when it comes to making cannabis edibles. Thanks to the convenience of RSO (Rick Simpson Oil), making potent and delicious weed brownies at home has never been easier.
Gone are the days of grinding up flower and tossing it into the mix. With RSO, you can effortlessly blend the oil into butter or other fats, creating a more consistent and flavorful edible that packs a stronger punch.

These infused brownies will hit the sweet spot and set the mood every time.

Ingredients for RSO Infused Brownies

  • 1 box of your favorite brownie mix
  • Ingredients listed on the box (commonly eggs, oil or butter, and water)
  • 1 RSO 500mg syringe (adjust the amount for desired potency)

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Preheat Your Oven

  • Set the oven to the temperature specified on your brownie mix box. Most mixes require 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan (or the size recommended by your mix) using butter, non-stick spray, or by lining it with parchment paper.

3. Infuse Your Oil or Butter

  • Mix the RSO into the oil or melted butter called for in the recipe to incorporate it.
  • Use the following guidelines for dosage:
    • For ~10mg per brownie: Use half of the RSO syringe (250mg total).
    • For ~20mg per brownie: Use the entire syringe (500mg total).

4. Mix the Ingredients

  • Combine the brownie mix with the eggs, water, and infused oil or butter as directed on the box. 
  • Mix thoroughly to ensure the RSO is evenly distributed.

5. Pour and Spread

  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.

6. Bake

  • Bake the brownies for the time specified on the box (usually 25”“30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

THC-Brownie Dosage Breakdown

  • Here’s a quick reference to calculate THC per serving, assuming the pan yields 16 brownies:

     

    • 500mg syringe: 500mg ÷ 16 servings = ~31mg THC per brownie.
    • Half (250mg): 250mg ÷ 16 servings = ~15mg THC per brownie.
    • Quarter (125mg): 125mg ÷ 16 servings = ~8mg THC per brownie.

Tips for Success:

  • Always label your infused edibles clearly to avoid accidental consumption.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool place to maintain freshness.
  • For beginners, start with a smaller dose and adjust future batches as needed.

6 FAQs About Infusing Box Brownie Mixes with RSO

How much RSO should I use in my brownies?

The amount of RSO you use depends on the desired potency and the number of servings your recipe yields. As a general guide:

  • For ~10mg THC per brownie: Use half of a 500mg RSO syringe.
  • For ~20mg THC per brownie: Use the full 500mg syringe. You can adjust the amount for higher or lower doses, depending on your tolerance and preferences.

How do I incorporate RSO into my brownie mix?

To ensure even distribution, mix the RSO into the oil or melted butter specified in your brownie recipe before combining it with the other ingredients. This helps the RSO bind evenly to the fat and distribute consistently in the batter.

Can I use CBD instead of THC RSO oil in the brownie mix?

Yes! You can use any type of RSO your dispensary sells. Try blending your favorite strain-specific RSO, making a 1:1 brownie with CBD oil and THC, or researching other cannabinoids.

What if I don't want very strong brownies?

You can reduce the dosage by using less RSO. For example: Use a quarter of a 500mg syringe (125mg) for a batch of brownies. If your mix yields 16 brownies, this provides about 7”“8mg THC per brownie. Alternatively, cut the brownies into smaller portions for a lower dose per serving.

Will baking destroy the THC in RSO?

No, THC is heat-stable up to 350°F (175°C), which is the typical baking temperature for brownies. Just make sure not to exceed this temperature and avoid overbaking to preserve potency.

How do I ensure the RSO is evenly distributed in my brownies?

Thorough mixing is key! Once you’ve infused the oil or butter with RSO, stir it into the batter thoroughly, ensuring no visible streaks. This helps prevent some brownies from being more potent than others.
