Caramels Made With Cannabutter
Cannabutter, also known as weed butter, is one of the most common cannabis-infused staple recipes.
It’s one of the best and most versatile ways to infuse this recipe with cannabis, and it’s also what gives the caramels their lovely buttery taste.
If you don’t have cannabis butter prepared in advance ( highly recommend), you’re going to want to prepare it before making today’s recipe.
But if you want to make caramels with cannabis-infused sugar, then you can just use regular unsalted butter in place of the cannabutter.
If you haven’t made cannabutter before, here’s how.
Caramels Made With Cannabis Sugar
Using homemade cannabis sugar is another yummy way to infuse this caramel recipe.
Cannabis sugar can be used in absolutely anything from cupcakes to Asian dressings for salads and stirfry.
Much like cannabutter, you’ll need to have cannabis sugar ready to go or prepared in advance.
Unfortunately, making caramel is not exactly a beginner-friendly recipe. It takes time, patience and mindfulness because you have to focus on a lot, especially temperature and heat levels.
I suggest running a test batch first, without the weed. This way you know what to do, what works, and how to do it. Taste it, and make sure you like it.
Then? If it’s good – recreate it with your choice of weed infusion. And if not? Try again until you get it just right!
What Kitchen Items Do I Need?
Most definitely, you’ll need a candy thermometer that can attach to the side of your saucepan so you can monitor the temp of the candy at all times. You’ll also need:
- 9×9 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- A large saucepan
- Wax paper
