Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a batch of these chewy canna-caramels and my kitchen smells incredible—they are insanely rich, perfectly soft, and have just the right kick.
Here is how to make them:
**Ingredients:**
* 1/2 cup cannabutter (made using our standard ratio: 1 cup butter simmered on low at 160–200°F with 7-10g of decarbed flower for 2–4 hours, then strained)
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup light corn syrup
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* A pinch of flaky sea salt
**Steps:**
1. **The Infusion Prep:** If you haven't made your butter yet, remember to decarb your raw flower first (spread on a lined sheet at 240°F for 30–40 mins to activate the THC) before simmering it with the butter. THC needs that fat to bind to!
2. **Mix:** In a heavy saucepan, combine the cannabutter, heavy cream, sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat.
3. **Boil:** Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. Clip a candy thermometer to the side.
4. **Heat:** Keep stirring until the mix reaches exactly 244°F (firm ball stage). Take it off the heat immediately so they stay chewy.
5. **Finish:** Stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
6. **Set:** Pour into a lined 8x8 pan. Let it cool completely, then slice into equal squares and wrap in wax paper.
Seriously, start low and go slow with these—5–10mg of THC is a solid starting dose if you're new to edibles. Keep in mind that digesting THC takes time; it can take 30–90 minutes to kick in, so don't double down too quickly. Label the jar clearly and keep them way out of reach of kids and pets! — Internet of Pot
