Ingredients, Equipment, and Temps
You'll need 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 2–4 tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil or tincture. Add 1/2 teaspoon flavor extract and 1/4 teaspoon citric acid for a sour finish, plus a pinch of salt. Equipment is basic: a heavy saucepan, a wooden spoon, a silicone spatula, a candy thermometer, and molds or a lined baking sheet. Decarb your flower at about 240°F for 35–40 minutes before infusing, then cook the syrup to the hard-crack stage, 300–310°F. Pull it off the heat, stir the infusion in fast, and pour immediately — the mix thickens within seconds.

How potent will each piece be?
Divide the total milligrams of THC in your infusion by the number of pieces you pour. If your oil carries 100 mg and you cut 35 pieces, each candy is roughly 3 mg — a sensible starting point for most people.
Can I make this recipe without a candy thermometer?
Yes. Drop a bit of syrup into ice water; if it hardens into brittle threads that snap when bent, you've reached hard-crack and it's ready to pour.
How long does cannabis hard candy last?
Stored dry and cool in an airtight container, it keeps 2–3 weeks. Humidity is the enemy — one sticky piece will cause the whole batch to clump.
