CBD-Infused Chocolate Caramel Brownies
To end your holiday meals right, Allison Garriga of CBD Kratom suggests crafting her favorite CBD-infused chocolate caramel brownies. Here’s how.
Servings: 20 Brownies
Cook Time: 40 minutes

- Then, add in the brownie mix and stir again. Once combined well, cut your CBD caramels into small strips.

Cooking With Cannabinoids
Though it might seem intimidating at first, cooking with cannabinoids like CBD is one of the easiest things to do in the kitchen. As something that pairs so easily with foods of various flavors and backgrounds, adding CBD into your meals this holiday season may be the best gift you can give yourself.
You can swap out a CBD tincture (for one that also includes THC) like a cannabis oil in these recipes, in case you want the benefits with the psychoactivity (a high). We recommend a tincture of 250mg for beginners, 750mg for intermediates, and 1000-1500mg for experienced users.
