Review: Salted Caramel Infused Cookies by Enliven
I’ve been plenty vocal about my nostalgic bias towards caramel candies. Honestly, no other food creates such a strong connection to my childhood. This connection drew me to Enliven’s limited run of Salted Caramel Infused Cookies. I recently stopped into Trinity Compassionate Care and picked up a bag to review.
Enliven Salted Caramel Cookies come as a ten pack with 10mg of THC each. Each cookie was a golden brown circle, just over two-inches across with small caramel chips peeking out at random. The mouthfeel was classic crisp cookie with a firm but crumbly texture. The real unlock was a few seconds in the microwave, a move that punched up the flavor and brought back some of the fresh out of the oven chewiness.
The flavor was sweet and rich with a doughy cookie base that carried an undertone of classic caramel, while the caramel chips provided a burst of cooked sugar flavor when they crossed the palate. There wasn’t any hint of cannabis flavor, and like all the flavors of Enliven cookies, these could pass as a non-infused treat easily.
Just before the hour post-cookie mark, a calm and collected clarity overtook my mental space allowing for easier flowing thoughts. Slight tingling sensations began to move through my body, coming in waves that peaked, then disappeared. The post-experience long tail was much heavier, and as the mental clarity waned, the buzz left a hazy headspace and a physical heaviness that weighed me down.
