Sea Salt Canna Caramels
1/2 cup butter, high fat like Kerrygold or Finlandia brands, infused if you like
1/2 cup cream, 36 to 40% butterfat
3 T water
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar, vaniila sugar is great here
2 T vanilla extract, you can make it in the instant pot yourself, hehe
2 T cannabis infused mct oil
1 g CBD shatter
2 g THC shatter
1/4 t coarse sea salt, i used pink himalayan
Edible gold dust, opt
1. Oil loaf pan and line with parchment.
2. Combine butter and cream and microwave 1 to 2 mins until butter melts and cream is hot. Set aside. This is where i added in my shatter and infused oil. It all melted nicely in with the other fats and combined evenly. When you add your goodies may depend on whether they need a decarb or not.
3. In a small, heavy bottomed sauce pan combine water and corn syrup. Add sugar carefully to center of water mixture and press with spoon just to wet through. You want to avoid getting sugar crystals on pan sides.
4. Cook over medium heat to boil, then gently put your candy thermometer in place. DO NOT STIR. NO STIRRING. DONT STIR IT. I MEAN IT.
5. Cook to 320 F at sea level. High altitude adjustment remove 2 degrees for every 1000 feet above sea level, approx.
6. Pour cream mixture in one sixtg at a time, gently. Watch out for massive bubbling reaction. DO NOT STIR.
7. When all cream is added you may use the bottom of your thermometer to GENTLY encourage it to combine. MINIMUM STIRRING PLEASE.
8. Cook to 240 F for soft caramels. A couple degrees higher will give a firmer result. Make sure your thermometer is calibrated. This is precise.
9. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
10. Cool about 20 mins and scatter sea salt on top. If you add it right away it just sinks in. You can brush on some edible powder if you are feeling fancy.
11. Cool 3 hours, unmold, slice wuth an oiled knife, and wrap individually. U wrapped mine in waxed paper. Took these to a party, feedback was awesome.
Enjoy!
