Medicated Chocolate Tahini Sea Salt Caramels

If you’ve ever wanted to create decadent, salted caramels infused with cannabis but felt intimidated by candy thermometers and complex recipes, this one’s for you. These vegan chocolate tahini caramels are easy, require just 6 simple ingredients, and don’t need a candy thermometer. Plus, they’re perfect for infusing with your decarbed herb or cannabis-infused oil (cannaoil or cannabutter). Whether you’re using an FDA non-stick coating canister or your favorite infusion device, this recipe will transform your infused product into a salty-sweet masterpiece.

Why Decarboxylation Matters

Before you start, make sure your cannabis is properly decarboxylated. Decarboxylation (decarb) is the process of activating THC (or CBD) so your edibles deliver their effects. Use a decarboxylator or your oven for even heating and smell control. If you’re unsure how much infused oil or butter to add, refer to the dosage chart below and adjust based on your tolerance.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp vegan butter

• 1/3 cup maple syrup

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp sea salt (plus more for topping)

• 1/3 cup tahini

• 1/4–1/3 cup cannabis-infused oil (cannaoil) or cannabutter

• 1/2 cup melted vegan chocolate (for coating)

• Optional: Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Workspace Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. This will make removing the chilled caramels a breeze.

2. Melt the Base In a medium non-stick saucepan (silicon lid optional for smell control), melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly.

3. Add Tahini and Infused Oil Remove the pan from heat and stir in the tahini. Once combined, add your cannabis-infused oil or butter. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of cannabinoids.

4. Chill the Caramel Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until fully set and sliceable.

5. Slice and Coat in Chocolate Remove the firm caramel from the freezer and cut into bite-sized squares. Dip or drizzle the squares with melted vegan chocolate, then sprinkle with sea salt and sesame seeds for an elegant finish.

6. Store and Serve Store caramels in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to enjoy. These treats melt easily at room temperature, so keep them chilled.

Dosage Guide

Since everyone’s tolerance is different, measure your infused oil or butter carefully. Refer to the chart below to calculate your dose and adjust for your desired effect:

Tips for Success

• Infusion Method: Use a quality infuser for even heating and maximum potency.

• Tahini Magic: Don’t skip the tahini—it adds a nutty richness that balances the cannabis flavors beautifully.

• Chocolate Coating: A thin layer of melted chocolate adds texture and decadence to each bite.

Final Thoughts
