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 apples
A dipping caramel cooked to 245 °F and then allowed to fall to about 200 °F before the butter goes in — which happens to be the same temperature at which caramel coats an apple instead of sliding off it.

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.

Gumdrop nougat candy
Marshmallows and white chocolate melted together in the microwave, gumdrops folded through, set cold and cut into cubes. No thermometer, no oven, and the dose rides in two tablespoons of butter stirred into the whole slab.

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 pie
Corn syrup holds the sugar in solution so the filling sets clear and chewy instead of grainy. Cooling the sugar mixture before the eggs and butter go in is not optional — hot syrup scrambles egg on contact.

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.

Pumpkin pie
Custard pie, which means eggs set it and eggs will crack it if it goes past done. Pull it while the middle still wobbles and let carryover finish the job on the counter.

Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.
