Caramels are delicious during any time of the year and are one of those classic candies that pretty much everyone loves and are also extremely easy to make at home. What's even better than normal caramels are cannabis-infused caramels, and whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cannabaker, they are relatively straightforward to make. Edibles can be bought from any dispensary nowadays, but the prices tend to lean towards the steep side. Learning how to make your own can save you a bunch of money, and you can customize it to your liking. Of course, we love edibles that give us a real high. Try swapping your cannabutter with CBD if you're looking to mellow out but avoid the dreaded marijuana hangover.
A crucial ingredient for the recipe below is marijuana-infused butter, which needs to be made before you can start on the cannabis caramels. In order for the cannabutter to work its magic, the raw flower used for it has to undergo the decarboxylation process. This is when the bud gets heated up, converting the non-psychoactive THCA compound into THC and giving us that faded sensation. Be sure to dose your cannabutter properly according to your tolerance level. If you'd prefer to skip the math for calculating the potency, which can be found with this formula, thankfully there are many online calculators to help you.
