Troubleshooting: Common Caramel-Making Mistakes & Fixes

Don't worry if your weed caramel doesn't turn out perfectly—these common issues are easy to fix!- Caramel too soft: This happens when the mixture doesn't reach the firm-ball stage (245°F). Simply reheat and cook a little longer until the right consistency is achieved. - Caramel too hard: Overcooking past 245°F makes the caramels too firm. To soften them, add a few tablespoons of warm cream, stir well, and gently reheat. - Grainy texture: Sugar crystallization is the culprit. To prevent this, stir gently and avoid scraping the sides of the pan while pouring.
