If you're wondering how to make edibles and like candy, consider marijuana candy instead! Some of the best edibles to make are THC infused candies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon flavored extract (e.g., vanilla, peppermint, etc.)
- 1-2 tablespoons cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused coconut oil
- Food coloring (optional)
Going Step by Step
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture, making sure it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. Boil until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), also known as the hard crack stage.
- Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the unsalted butter, flavored extract, cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused coconut oil, and food coloring (if desired). Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Carefully pour the mixture into candy molds or onto a greased baking sheet. Allow it to cool and harden completely.
- Once the marijuana candy has hardened, remove it from the molds or break it into smaller pieces if using a baking sheet. Store the candies in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- When making marijuana candy, it’s important to accurately measure the amount of cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused coconut oil you add.
- Start with a smaller amount and adjust according to your desired potency.
- If you prefer a stronger effect, you can increase the amount of cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused coconut oil in the recipe.
- However, be cautious not to exceed your desired potency.
- Remember to label your marijuana candy clearly and keep it out of reach of children or anyone who should not consume cannabis-infused edibles.
- Experiment with different flavors and shapes to make your marijuana candy more enjoyable.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Weed Candy you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
