STEPS

1. Preheat oven to 340ºF.

2. Lightly grease a 9-by- 13-inch brownie pan with cooking spray.

3. Place Speculoos cookies into a food processor, and process on high to make fine cookie crumbs

4. Add 4 Tablespoons of melted cannabutter + 4 Tablespoons of melted to crumbs and pulse until combined.

5. Press crumb and butter mixture onto bottom of brownie pan and set aside.

6. Combine the 4 sticks of melted butter, sugar, vanilla and coffee in a large bowl.

7. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.

8. Using a flour sifter, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a separate bowl. (It’s important to actually sift these ingredients instead of just tossing them together in a bowl.)

9. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the butter mixture until blended. Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

10. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking on top of the Speculoos crumbs

11. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one or two of the middle brownies comes out clean.

12. Remove and cool the pan on a wire rack

13. In a small sauce pot bring heavy cream to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).

14. Place chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl

15. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes

16. Add in cannabutter and whisk until smooth and creamy.

17. Evenly pour ganache over brownies. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

18. Cut into 24 pieces and serve.
