Cannabis Caramel Turtles

The only thing better than chocolate turtles? Infusing them with THC, of course! While this recipe whips up a large batch of turtles, you can start with 1/3 c pecans to get into a groove of crafting these treats. You'll need three ingredients to whip up these goodies:

• 1 c pecan halves
• 3 packages of Cannabis Caramels
• 6 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Arrange 3 pecan halves in a "Y" shape on the baking sheet to form the "legs" of the turtle.
3. Place 1 Caramel in the center of each pecan cluster, ensuring the Caramel touches all three pecans so they stick together.
4. Melt the chocolate in a microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each until smooth, or use a double boiler.
5. Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel, covering it but leaving the tips of the pecans exposed.
6. Allow the turtles to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
7. Once set, peel the turtles off the parchment paper and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions About Encore Marijuana Caramel Edibles

Now that you have the rich details of mouthwatering Encore Caramels, let's bite into the length of effects, amount you should take, and other common questions about marijuana Caramels. 

Are Encore Caramels Strain Specific?

No, Caramels are not strain-specific, but they are lineage-specific! Crafted with a proprietary blend of terpenes, choose between Indica Sea Salt or Sativa Espresso Caramels.

How Many Marijuana Caramels Should I Eat?

Always approach marijuana edibles with caution: start small. Each caramel piece contains 10mg, and its soft consistency allows for easy splitting into two 5mg pieces.

How Long Will the Effects of Cannabis Caramels Last?

The duration of effects from any edible, including marijuana caramels, varies due to:

• your body's metabolic rate,
• what you ate (or didn’t eat) before consuming Caramels (pro tip: eating something fatty before or while dosing helps the cannabinoids bind and break faster!),
• whether you opted for sublingual absorption or simply chewed and swallowed

Considering these factors, the effects typically linger between four to eight hours.

When Can I Expect to Feel the Effects of Marijuana Caramels?

The time taken to experience the effects of cannabis consumption is termed the "onset duration." With marijuana caramels, this onset can range from a quick 30 minutes, thanks to potential sublingual absorption, to about 90 minutes. We advise waiting a minimum of two hours before deciding on another serving.

What's the Best Way to Store Cannabis Caramels and Their Shelf Life?

Keep your cannabis caramels in a location that's both cool and dry for best results. It's a bad idea to leave them in your vehicle, as they might melt from the heat. When stored under ideal conditions, these caramels remain fresh for up to 12 months. Do check the expiration date on the packaging for specifics.
