What Makes the Best Weed Candy?

There are so many types of delicious candy out there. It’s impossible to name a definitive “best” candy. Everyone’s got their favorite. However, there are some general tips on how to make weed candy the best it can be.

  • Use high-quality cannabis flower or concentrates. Consider the product’s cannabinoid and terpene concentration.
  • Decarboxylate the material in the oven to activate its primary compounds (THC and CBD).
  • Infuse cannabis into butter or oil to make a variety of cannabis recipes.
  • Combine all the ingredients evenly. Well-mixed ingredients allow you to create consistent doses.
  • Allow the candies to cool before removing them from molds.
  • Store candy in a dry, dark, and cool space.

Cannabis candy recipes vary in ingredients, including cannabutter, cannabis oil, cannabis tincture, food coloring, corn syrup, and water. There’s an infinite range of delicious possibilities in the world of weed edibles.

Cooking Equipment

The type of cooking equipment you need to make weed candy depends on the candy you will make. Here are a couple of common supplies you will need.

  • Candy thermometer: A candy thermometer enables you to check the temperature of candy syrups. For instance, when making cannabis hard candy, you will need to know when the syrup is at its hard-crack stage (300º-310º F).
  • Candy molds or baking sheets: Candy molds allow you to shape the infused ingredients into various shapes and forms. Molds make it easy to make lollipops, gummy bears, and chocolate bars.
  • Lollipop sticks: Lollipop sticks can go inside lollipop molds.
  • Candy wrappers: Candy wrappers can preserve the candy for later use.
  • Microwave, stove, or oven: Whether you need to decarboxylate your ingredients or heat them, you will need one of these for your candy recipe.

When consuming cannabis edibles for the first time, start with a small dose (1-5 mg THC) and wait a couple of hours to feel the effects. Ideally, you would wait to take a slightly higher dose another day. Waiting a few hours between doses reduces the risk of overconsumption.
