Difficulty: Easy (requires precision)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Limonene or Caryophyllene. Limonene amplifies the electric citrus notes of the lime, while Caryophyllene provides a spicy, peppery undertone that cuts through the rich, caramelized sugar.
DOSAGE INFORMATION:
Each piece contains approximately 10mg THC. Total batch contains 200mg THC. The infused butter must be fully emulsified into the sugar syrup during the boiling process to ensure even distribution and consistent potency.
PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW!
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30-120 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
INGREDIENTS:
* 7 grams high-quality cannabis flower (for the infusion base)
* 1 cup unsalted grass-fed butter (you will use 1/2 cup for this recipe)
* 1 cup granulated cane sugar
* 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
* 1 tbsp fresh lime zest (finely grated)
* 1/4 tsp sea salt
* 1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin
* 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for optional drizzle)
DECARBOXYLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 240°F.
* Break the cannabis flower into small, uniform pieces.
* Spread in a thin layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
* Bake for 30-40 minutes until the material is a light toasted brown.
* Cool completely before beginning the butter infusion.
INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Melt 1 cup of butter in a double boiler over low heat.
* Add the decarboxylated flower.
* Maintain heat between 160°F and 180°F for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
* Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cheesecloth.
* Measure exactly 1/2 cup of this infused butter for the recipe. Store the rest in the refrigerator.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Line a small baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
* In a heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup infused butter, sugar, and sea salt.
* Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until the butter is melted and combined with the sugar.
* Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
* Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage). The mixture will turn a deep golden amber.
* Once it reaches 300°F, immediately remove from heat.
* Quickly stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and sunflower lecithin. The mixture will bubble vigorously; continue stirring until smooth.
* Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread quickly into a thin layer.
* If using white chocolate, melt and drizzle over the toffee while it is still warm.
* Allow to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour until hard.
* Break into 20 uniform pieces using a kitchen mallet or the back of a heavy spoon.
CHEF TIPS:
The hard-crack stage is the only way to achieve a professional toffee texture. If you remove the heat at 285°F, it will be sticky and chewy. Be patient and wait for the thermometer to hit exactly 300°F for that satisfying, glass-like snap.
