No, I seen it after the strawburst video. Same person that made the strawburst.

Going to try a dry unmedicated run on these today, so I can figure it out and see how many pieces the recipe makes.

First try, halved the recipe, just poured it off... that's a lot of cherry taffy.... 2/3 or so of a cookie sheet, non medicated trial run.

I'd stir in the decarboxylated hash oil right after I put in the kool aid and vanilla.

The flavor is almost exactly like a cherry starburst...
So my thoughts on this.....
1. It's a pain to work with, stretching and pulling taffy is work... I left some unstretched just to check out how it hardens up etc. I don't think pulling and stretching the taffy is going to work very well if you add hash oil at the kool-aid step like I'm thinking... a lot of the oil is going to end up on your gloves I'd think.
.
2. Hardness - I heated mine up to 250F and didn't leave it there very long, I'm thinking just a little cooler to say around 243F (according to my candy thermometer) for a softer piece of taffy. It's not totally hard and it does soften up if you'd say put a piece in your pocket, but it's a little harder than a starburst.
3. I might try some in molds to get a uniform size which looks like it would be next to impossible without a mold.
