Steps

  1. Butter a 9×13-inch (33×23 cm) pan and line it with parchment, pressing it into the corners. Melt the infused coconut oil separately over the lowest heat until just liquid and set it aside off the heat — it never goes near the browning butter.
  2. Melt the plain butter in a large pot over medium-low, then raise the heat a notch and cook it, swirling, until the bubbling quiets down and you can see toasted brown flecks on the base. Pull it off the burner the moment it smells nutty.
  3. Return the pot to low heat, add the marshmallows and vanilla, and stir gently until the marshmallows have only just melted. Don't let the mixture bubble or scorch.
  4. Take the pot off the heat completely and let it sit for about a minute so the surface stops steaming — you want it warm and fluid, not hot. Pour in the melted infused coconut oil and stir for 20–30 seconds until the marshmallow looks glossy and uniform with no oil pooling at the edge. Everything from here is off-heat, which is why the dose survives.
  5. Add the cereal all at once and fold gently until every piece is coated. Work quickly but evenly; uneven coating means uneven squares.
  6. Scrape into the lined pan and press level with a buttered spatula or a sheet of parchment — firm and even pressure from corner to corner, so the slab is the same thickness throughout. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
  7. Cool completely at room temperature, then lift the slab out by the parchment.
  8. Trim a thin edge off all four sides to square the slab, then cut 4 even columns and 4 even rows for 16 squares. Weigh the trimmed slab beforehand and divide by 16 if you want to check your cuts against a target weight.
  9. Wrap the squares individually and label each one — plus the storage container — with the date, the batch total of 80 mg THC, 5 mg THC per square, and 21+ only. One square to begin with, and wait it out before reaching for a second.
