Cannabis infused caramel in a jar with a spoon scooping some of the caramel

How to Make Weed Caramel

Weed caramel is one of my favourite cannabis recipes. Especially when it’s this easy. This recipe only takes 1 & 1/2 hours from start to finish. It also happens to be one of the tastiest edibles out there!

Make sure to check out the potency guide further down in this post as it will help you find the potency per serving.

Here’s What You’re Going to Need:

There’s only one ingredient in this recipe that you can’t find at your local supermarket. That ingredient is cannabis butter and you’ll need to make this at home. We have a comprehensive guide to making cannabutter here if you need it.

Weed Caramel Potency Guide

To find the potency of your weed caramel you’re going to need to know the potency of your cannabis butter. If you don’t know this, head over to our cannabutter guide and scroll to the bottom. We have a calculator there that will help you.

The number of servings is going to depend on the size that you cut the caramel. Play around with the calculator until you get a potency per serving that you like.

Enter the amount of cannabis you are using to infuse butter, oil, milk, etc.

%

If your cannabis has a THC content of 25%, type 25

How much of the activated ingredient will you use in your infusion?

Decarboxylation doesn't have 100% efficiency and it typically 70-90%. This means about 10-30% of potential THC is lost. This is a rough estimate on your edible potency.

    Delicious and my favorite way to make caramels. I tried the Evaporated Milk recipe and it's good, but making caramels with heavy cream gives the candy a smoother, creamier taste. I always make 1/2 of your recipe and after cutting the cooled batch, I place the cut caramels into the freezer to give me a delicious extremely cold buttery hard candy. It's a hard candy that turns into a chewy soft caramel after a few minutes. Best of both worlds.
