Baking High
In these Spiced Olive Oil Brownies, you can infuse the olive oil with any cannabis strain(s) of your choice. I would recommend a strain that has deep & earthy or rich & spicy terpenes that will compliment the trio of spices and espresso in the brownies.
Use an edible dosage calculator, such as this one by hempster, to calculate a dose that is right for you.

* If you infused your brownies with cannabis: use a ruler to measure out either 12 or 16 servings. Measure, mark, and cut an (a) 3×4 grid for 12 servings or (b) 4×4 grid for 16 servings of brownies. By precisely measuring out your servings, the dosage of each serving is likely to be more even and consistent.
