I tried this and it still ends up with the sugar lumping even worse. After I get the sugar too 290 and cool it too 240 adding the butter fucks it.Partially cook/cool the sugar down to caramel then add canabutter, then slowly reheat to combine
Yea I use blue agave syrup personally, sugar does crystallize faster , maybe addition of a binder like corn starch? I’ve done that to non canna recipes.. take a pinchI tried this and it still ends up with the sugar lumping even worse. After I get the sugar too 290 and cool it too 240 adding the butter fucks it.
I tried heating the butter too 240 and the sugar too 290 cooling the sugar and then adding butter and that was even more fucked.
Most of the recipes I have read they have half cup water and corn syrup I read corn syrup stops crystallization of sugar and helps keep things smooth and together plus the water would stop things from heating unevenly, non of that was required for the normal toffee but I guess the cannabutter probably heats faster than the sugar causing the separation.
I just wish I had of used the leaf trim rather than pure bud.. I have had top throw away 21g :(
No I don’t use sugarBlue agave syrup? U dont use sugar at all?
Normal way of making butter boil it with bud in water and leave too seperate.I have a quick question about your butter process???? How do you make your butter? Am I following this correctly? First pic of toffee hardened and broken is good stuff and the green lumpy stuff is made with your cannabutter. Is the cannabutter strained really well? No vegetation left in there?
I did try it's just like clumped sugar covered in butter it does the job but not very tasty.Not expert in the matter, but the plant matter may have caused an adverse reaction during the process. Just a thought. Process of elimination. The only variable different from recipe to recipe. I would suggest a go with another batch of butter that is strained very well. I use cheesecloth. Not sure what you use to strain it, but I'm willing to bet the excess plant matter ruined the recipe. Did it at least turn out like a granola bar? Chewy or crunchy? Try consuming it?
This is the butter or toffee? I'm not pro at candy making or such. If it isn't how you like, I guess try again. Lol. As long as the end product has the effects you want keep eating the mess ups. I've only made brownies or used directly on toast bagel, etc with my butter with great success. I've never added water to my butter as many recipes call for. Just decarb, combine ground material with amount of butter and simmer as low as possible for minimum of two hours keeping eye on temp during simmer. Never over 225°f. Just made a batch couple weeks ago. Half a teaspoon for light buzz. Full teaspoon on toast for GREAT body high.I did try it's just like clumped sugar covered in butter it does the job but not very tasty.
I tried again and made new butter, and I decided too add some normal butter aswell also 3 table spoons of water
I used 50% normal butter with 50% cannabutter which I strained properly very very little too no bits.
I used a black sock too strain this time but I used leaves instead of bud for experiments.
It turned out alot better but I am still left with little separation.
Also I have drained 90% of the butter that had separated so what you see is a out 10% guesstimated.View attachment 864652
That's the toffee in picture. Only mess up that's been edible so far hahaha. Tbh I'm about fed up with this candy shit.This is the butter or toffee? I'm not pro at candy making or such.

From my understanding, when making a brittle or candy it has a lot to do with the temps during the process. If the cannabutter effects this, not sure what to suggest. I'm gonna do gummi bears with butter very soon.
