As we’re approaching Snoop Dogg’s favorite holiday—4/20—you might be looking for some recipes to celebrate in the rapper’s style. And, if there are two things we know about Snoop Doggy Dogg, it’s that he loves “the smoke” (though his line of smokeless Solo Stove firepits says otherwise) and a side quest (again, see his line of firepits).

From practicing what he preaches in his song “C-Walking” at the 2024 Paris Olympics to making a surprise appearance with Wiz Khalifa at Pat McAfee’s “Big Night AHT” in Pittsburgh, Snoop always seems to be showing up where you least expect him—even in the food world. Not only does the rapper have a line of red blend wine with 19 Crimes, alongside his bestie Martha Stewart’s chardonnay, he also sells an array of Dr. Bombay ice cream flavors in the freezer aisle.

If you were shocked by that, then you’ll want to hold onto your seat for this next piece of news: Snoop Dogg has cookbooks. And not just one but two, filled with some of his all-time great recipes, like his “Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookie” and The King Classic Caesar.

We know what you might be thinking: Do the recipes contain an extra, uh, herbal ingredient? No, unlike Willie Nelson’s cannabis-filled cookbook, the D-O-double-G’s “From Crook to Cook” cookbook recipes are all THC-free. Though, of course, some of the recipes, like his beloved fried bologna sandwich, certainly make for a tasty munchy.

While the recipes do not contain what Snoop calls his “herbs and spices,” it’s no surprise the rapper calls his “greatest” recipe brownies. Snoop’s homemade Bow Wow Brownies are a decadent chocolate dessert filled with chocolate morsels and served with ice cream and extra chocolate sauce.

“The key is to make sure they’re nicely baked,” Snoop writes. Puns aside, yes, this is the base recipe for Snoop’s special brownies, too. “If I really want to take it up a notch, I might even add a dash of my secret ingredient—a sprinkle of Snoop’s herbs and spices really gives those things a kick,” he writes. “They’ll come out the oven smelling real aromatic, and a couple bites will leave you feeling like you’re on cloud nine.”

Whether you add the extra Snoop-loved ingredient or not, the fudgy brownies served with ice cream make the perfect dessert. Here’s how to make Snoop’s iconic Bow Wow Brownies.

How To Make Snoop Dogg's Bow Wow Brownies

Ingredients:

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 1/2 cups milk chocolate morsels
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Your favorite vanilla ice cream, for serving
Chocolate sauce, for serving

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, with a rack in the middle position. Butter an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate morsels. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla to the chocolate mixture. Stir until blended and smooth.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate morsels.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking, until the brownies are set and the edges looked baked. Remove the brownies from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool in the pan.

Cut the brownies into 6 large squares. Serve topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, if desired.
