Well, I"ve been missing for awhile. I couldn't do any edibles or use oil or any MJ due to job pee tests for the past 6 to 8 months.
I'm back to work, drug tests are done and I'm back in the healing!
I made canna caramels today, and did a different recipe to try to get soft and chewy instead of the firm ones. They turned out a bit too soft.
Soooo, I decided to chocolate cover them with some cannabutter chocolate.
I started with two to three tbls. cannabutter and Bakers Semi-Sweet chocolate, chopped into small chunks in a microwave safe bowl. I also lined a sheet pan with parchment.
I Nuked the chocolate chunks for about 20 seconds at a time, stirring completely each time. Takes about 3 shots in the nuker, I had 12 oz. of chocolate. When it was about 1/2 melted, I added the cannabutter and mixed it in.
One more time in the nuker for about 20 seconds, then stirred vigorously until all the chocolate was melted smooth and it was glossy.
Now usually I would use the two forks method, one to dip into the chocolate and one to push it off the other fork onto the tray or rack. This was difficult because the caramels are so soft, they were sticking to the forks. (VERY humid here today too)
So, I just spooned a round base of chocolate onto the parchment paper and then set the caramel onto it and used the spoon to drizzle over the caramel until completely covered. A wire rack would not have worked for these as soft as they are. Let the chocolate set a few minutes and then sprinkle sea salt on top.
I put them in the fridge to firm up and then trimmed off the excess chocolate.
Not the most uniform of chocolate covered treats, but they are rustic looking. You can tell by the fingerprint on one of them.
That chocolate was getting soft fast in this humidity.
I could not resist, I had to eat the one I cut in half.
In addition to the trimmed pieces, I have lots of chocolate left over. That is going to be used for dipping some orange slices.
YUM
