Our pick

Cheeba Chews Caramel takes the top spot. The company started in Colorado in 2009 and sells a caramel taffy chew at 10 mg THC per piece. The wrapper prints dose per piece, a batch code and a production date. That label set lets a buyer split a dose and trace a batch. A 10-piece package holds 100 mg total, which matches the package cap in Colorado and California.

3. Store-label caramels

Many shops sell caramels under a house label. Ask for the batch test sheet at the counter. House caramels cost less per mg in most cases. Label detail varies by producer, and some packages list total THC but not dose per piece.

Dose math

Divide total THC by the number of pieces. A 100 mg package with 20 pieces gives 5 mg per piece. A 100 mg package with 10 pieces gives 10 mg. Start at 5 mg if you have not used edibles before. Wait 2 hours before a second piece.

Label checks

Look for THC mg per serving, servings per package, batch number and test date. Colorado and California cap recreational edibles at 10 mg per serving and 100 mg per package. Caramels with dairy or nuts spoil faster, so check the date stamp.

What we could not confirm

Brand stock differs by state and by store. Potency for one SKU can change between batches. Read the label on the package in front of you.
