Hello, making some candy for the first time for the Snoop Dogg/Wiz concert tomorrow night and just wanna confirm this way works well since I see so many different recipes online. Has anyone had anymore problems with the butter seperating? As I made canabutter using the magical butter machine and ghee butter, I would hate to waste any of it. Also if I added lecithin to the butter already would it be a good idea to add a little more to the candy mixture? Thanks!

PS. WOULD IT BE BETTER TO ADD THE BUTTER AFTER THE MIXTURE REACHES HARD CRACK

Lol ohh ok I got you. I'll let you know how it comes out in the hard candy, I read a different recipe that included lecithin. Did you make candy before? If so what'd you use? Also did you add the mj to it after the hard crack or you cooked it with the mixture?

Do you use instant jello or the old school kind?

Sorry it took so long to reply, lol

I now use regular branded jello along with flavorless Gelatin, not sure what instant is? :lol:

My recipes have come a lonnnnng way since the start of this thread :bigjoint: and as such, I'll post those up with pictures- soon.

I also do some with magic mushy powder as microdoses and they are fantastic!

I rarely if ever use cannabutter anymore; now it's just decarbbed concentrates which are just overall better, even for cake balls and all other baked goods.

((Totally forgot about this thread and it brought back some fond memories))

I just made some hard candies with two 6.25 oz. bags of Wild Cherry Life Savers, around 1/2 cup water and 11.75 grams of Decarbed Cheese Rosin. I crush the Life Savors and add to a pot with the water, boil to 300 degrees, take the pot off the stove and let the temp drop to 250 degrees and whisk in the Rosin. Pour into the trays. Need to work quick as the candy wants to set up quite quickly, you have time to get it into the trays.
I used mini ice cube trays and it made 250 - 0.33 inch cubes. It works out to about 50 mg/cube. I am doing three in the morning and three just before bedtime.
Right out of the cube, I used Pam spray in the silicone trays, did not make it easy to remove the candies.

After being dusted with sugar, citrus acid and cornstarch. After cleanup I have about 8 balls this size and the 250 cubes.

Here they are in the container for the freezer.

I made gummy's my last batch and I like the hard candies best. The taste of the Rosin is there but not really overpowering. They are tart, sweet but not overly, and have that slight Rosin taste.
I will make them again. I may make them from scratch next time but I will not use cannabutter, don't see how you can keep them for seperating. I will do it like this only add a flavoring, thinking Rootbeer my help with the Rosin taste.

I just made these candies & doubled the batch, for flavoring I used strawberry & banana jello and omg they are good. as for the separation guys, I use 2 tsp of soya lecithin, and you stir your ass off till there is no oil floating and all combined. I also used 1 cup (16 Tbsps) of cannaoil. Happy baking guys and enjoy :weed:
