Cannabis-Infused Caramels Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused unsalted butter (Visit the link for step-by-step instructions to make your own infused butter)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1Tbsp + 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly butter the sides.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, heavy cream, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
- Let the mixture boil until it reaches a temperature of 245°F on a candy thermometer. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and let it cool completely.
- Once the mixture is cool, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares. You can sprinkle the additional sea salt on the caramels at this point, if you prefer a saltier flavour.
- Wrap each square in wax paper and store in an airtight container.
Enjoy your homemade caramels! Making your own edibles at home is a fun and delicious way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Be sure to follow the recipe and instructions carefully, starting with a low dose of THC and increasing gradually until you find the perfect amount for you. If you’ve used infused butter you made on your own, you can estimate the dosage of your edibles, but be sure to start low and go slow until you know how they will affect you.
