It’s mind- blowingly delicious. 1 1⁄2 cups sugar 1 cup brown sugar 6 tablespoons cannabutter*, divided use 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3⁄4 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 22 ounces bittersweet chocolate 1 1⁄2 cups salted roasted almonds, chopped In a heavy-bottom saucepan, melt sugars with 4 tablespoons cannabutter, unsalted butter and salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium, whisking to combine the sugar and fats until thermometer registers 300 F or mixture is golden brown. Stir in cream and vanilla extract. Working quickly, pour the mixture onto a silicone-lined sheet pan and spread thinly. Let set, about 30 minutes. Place half of the chocolate in a double boiler and add 1 tablespoon cannabutter to temper. Stir to melt; use a spatula to thinly cover the toffee. Sprinkle and lightly press half of the almonds onto the chocolate and toffee. Let the chocolate set, about 1 to 2 hours. Carefully loosen toffee and gently flip over. Repeat process. When the chocolate surface is set, break toffee into bite-sized pieces. Package in air- tight tins or fill clear cellophane bags. Keeps up to 3 weeks.
