Just made some medicated peppermint caramels...waiting for them to cool so I can coat them with dark chocolate(with more cannabutter in it)
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk(14oz)
1 cup (canna)butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Peppermint extract
Of course, the peppermint is optional, but before you say "Yuck, peppermint!", the combination of the peppermint, vanilla, and butter just make this a really buttery, warm flavor...Lightly pepperminty, all good!
So, I started off with some good cannabutter...1oz bud - 1lb of butter...I forgot to take a picture before I melted it, so that's the remnants of the pound of cannabutter I started with.
Into the pot goes the brown sugar,corn syrup, melted cannabutter, and sweetened condensed milk...starts out kinda light greenish brown.
This recipe requires a candy thermometer
So on medium heat, you wanna heat these 4 ingredients while stirring constantly...this part takes FOREVER...Eventually, as the temperature hits 200-210, and the water vapor begins to boil off, the color begins to darken.
FINALLY! After about 25 minutes we've hit 246 degrees, the caramel is darker, and we take it off the flame to add the peppermint and vanilla extracts...
And pour into a greased pan to cool!
Now I'm waiting for them to cool completely, and I'm gonna coat them in dark chocolate(made with cannabutter)...I'll try to remember to take pictures of those steps as well..
And before you say "Cool, but this belongs in the 'cooking with cannabis' section"...That there is a picture of MY hand stirring the caramel...so....fuck you!
