Happy Four Twenty

Sunday Apr 20, 2008

Alright you askewbies… considering that we all come from a community based on the stoner humor of Jay & Silent bob, it’s appropriate that I did some googling to share these recipes with you.

I’m not going to “reprint” them here, just links. And I have no idea how accurate they are, but I have on good authority that they’re not going to lead you entirely astray.

First, you have to make the butter.

Then you can make some rice krispy treats.

For the chocolate lover, fudge or caramel might be in order.
