Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Caramel corn

Baked low to set the caramel, then finished with infused butter off the heat. Most versions stir the infusion into boiling caramel and then bake it for 45 minutes, which throws away a good share of what you made.

Chocolate truffles

Ganache is an emulsion of cream into chocolate, and it breaks for the same reasons mayonnaise does. Warm cream, finely chopped chocolate and stirring from the center out are what keep it together.

English toffee

Butter and sugar cooked to 300 °F over almonds, then a chocolate layer spread across the cooled slab. The chocolate is where the dose lives, because nothing infused belongs in a syrup that hot.

Gummies

The iconic edible, and the one people most often get wrong. Gummies separate because fat and gelatin do not mix — the fix is an emulsifier and constant stirring, not more heat.

Pecan caramel turtles

Clusters of toasted pecans under a spoonful of caramel and a cap of chocolate. Caramel taken to 245 °F stays where you put it instead of creeping out from under the chocolate a day later.

Pecan pralines

New Orleans pralines set by beating rather than by chilling. Cook to 236 °F, let the pot fall, then beat until the surface goes dull — early and they never set, late and they seize in the pan.

S'mores bars

Graham cookie base, a layer of chocolate, marshmallows browned under the broiler. The broiler is the only real risk in the recipe — marshmallow goes from toasted to black in about fifteen seconds.

Soft vanilla caramels

Chewy caramels cut from a slab and wrapped in wax paper. The finishing temperature decides everything: 245 °F gives a piece that holds its shape on the counter and still gives under a bite.

Vanilla marshmallows

Gelatin whipped with hot sugar syrup, cut into squares and dusted. Marshmallow takes no fat at all, so the dose rides in sugar dissolved into the cold bloom water, where it never meets direct heat.
