  • Step-by-Step Cannabis Candy Instructions
    Cannabis Hard Candy
  • Make It Right the First Time
  • Step 1: Prepare Your Molds
  • Grease your candy molds or baking sheet. Set them aside. Keep everything within reach.
  • Step 2: Heat the Base Mixture
  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Step 3: Boil to Hard Crack Stage
  • Attach your candy thermometer. Boil the mixture over medium heat without stirring. Wait until it reaches 300°F (149°C).
  • Step 4: Remove and Cool Slightly
  • Once it hits 300°F, remove the pan from heat. Let it cool for 30 seconds. Be careful—this mixture is extremely hot.
  • Step 5: Add Cannabis Tincture
  • Stir in your cannabis tincture quickly but thoroughly. Add flavor and color now if using. Don’t overmix.
  • Step 6: Pour into Molds
  • Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared molds. Work fast before it hardens.
  • Step 7: Let It Set
  • Allow the candies to cool and harden at room temperature. This takes about 30 minutes.
  • Step 8: Store Properly
  • Once hard, pop them out and store in an airtight container. Keep away from heat and sunlight.
  • Dosing Tips for Homemade Edibles
  • Stay Safe and Start Small
  • The potency of your hard candy depends on your tincture. Always label your edibles. Start with a low dose—especially if you're new to cannabis.
  • Here’s a quick tip:
  • If your tincture has 10mg THC per ml and you use 2 teaspoons (10ml), the whole batch will have 100mg THC. Divide that by the number of candies for a per-piece dose.

Notes

  • Don’t add tincture too early—it burns off.
  • Use a candy thermometer. Guessing leads to failure.
  • Avoid over-stirring. It creates bubbles and uneven texture.
  • Don’t skip greasing your molds.
