Keep reading to find out how easy it is to harness the power of cannabis in these scrumptious caramels.
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.

Cannabis edibles are new to many consumers, and there are lots of misconceptions about them. Let’s take a look at 5 of the most common consumer misconceptions when it comes to cannabis edibles.
They take too long to kick in
This is one of the most common misconceptions about cannabis edibles. Many people believe that because edibles are ingested, they take much longer to take effect than smoking or vaporizing cannabis. However, this is not always the case. In general, edibles will take effect within 30 minutes to 2 hours after being consumed. However, this can vary depending on a person’s metabolism and other factors, so it’s best to give yourself plenty of time to feel the effects when you’re experimenting with a new dose or cannabinoid.
They’re too strong
If you’re considering edibles as a method of cannabis consumption, it’s important to know that they don’t always pack the same punch as smoking or vaping. The strength of an edible will vary depending on factors like its THC content and how quickly your body can process it. Make sure to do your research about the cannabinoids you’re ingesting, and keep track of how they make you feel.
They’re not safe
Cannabis edibles are often seen as being unsafe, especially for children and pets. Eating cannabis can be as safe as any other food item. Regulated companies like Fritz’s make edibles from high-quality ingredients under strict standards. Intended for adult consumption only, these goodies undergo careful testing to ensure they’re clean and in compliance with regulations – making them an ideal choice for those who wish to enjoy the benefits of cannabis! And by keeping them in their original, child-proof packages, you ensure that any kids and pets who come into contact with them stay safe too.
Many people believe that consuming cannabis edibles will result in an extremely high level of intoxication. But this isn’t usually the case, especially when consumers are eating regulated edibles that are limited to 10 mg of THC per package. The effects of cannabis edibles vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of THC in the product and how well it is metabolized by the body. In general, the effects of an edible will peak after 2-3 hours and then gradually decline over the next few hours.
They’re unhealthy
Cannabis edibles are often seen as being unhealthy due to their high calorie and fat content. However, this is not always the case. Cannabis edibles can be made with healthy ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It can difficult for cannabis companies to get these kinds of products to market because of Health Canada’s strict regulations around allowable products, but consumers can always make their own healthy edibles at home.
