Dreaming of a delicious edible that satisfies both your cravings and your endocannabinoid system?

Whip up Adena’s cannabis-infused caramel turtles - a perfect creation for the stoner with a sweet tooth!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups brown sugar

  • 1 cup infused coconut oil

  • 1 can condensed milk

  • 1 cup corn syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt 

  • 2 cups toasted pecans

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips 

  • 4 Heath candy bars (chopped) 

Preparation & Cooking Instructions:

Pecan Prep 

Prepare two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Next, pile your pecans in sets of three to make clusters. Make sure your clusters are about two inches apart. 

Candy Bar Prep 

Chop Heath bars into ½ inch chunks and set aside.

Caramel

Place a medium-sized pot on the stove and set heat to medium. Add two cups of brown sugar, and one cup of coconut oil. Stir with whisk until combined, continuing non-stop throughout the caramel-making process. Next, add one cup of corn syrup, one can of condensed milk, and a ½ tsp salt. Continue stirring while waiting for caramel to come to a boil.

Once caramel is bubbling, let boil for about eight-and-a-half to nine minutes, or until candy thermometer reaches 243 degrees Fahrenheit. Once caramel has reached the proper temperature, remove from stove. Add vanilla extract. Stir caramel until slightly thickened.

Melting Chocolate 

Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl, melt for 30 seconds. Stir, and repeat at intervals of 15 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth. Place chocolate into a Ziplock bag, and set aside.


Turtle Assembly 

Spray measuring cup with cooking spray. Next, add caramel to the measuring cup and pour evenly into the center of each pecan cluster. Once all pecans are evenly covered in caramel, cut the corner of the bag filled with melted chocolate. Evenly top turtles with melted chocolate. Finish by placing Heath candy bar pieces on top of the melted chocolate.

Allow turtles to cool (or don’t) and enjoy!


Freezer Storage

Add to a freezer-safe container a piece of parchment between each turtle. Store in freezer for up to two months.

*Yields 86 Turtles
