In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making these delicious edibles and answer some commonly asked questions.
Making weed-infused Jolly Ranchers is a fun and creative way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Here’s a simple recipe that requires only a few ingredients and minimal effort:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup of light corn syrup
– 1/4 cup of water
– 1 tablespoon of flavored extract (e.g., cherry, watermelon, green apple)
– 1-2 teaspoons of cannabis tincture (adjust according to desired potency)
– Food coloring (optional)
– Jolly Rancher molds or silicone molds
Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue boiling until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C). This is the hard crack stage and ensures a hard, glass-like texture for your Jolly Ranchers.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Stir in the flavored extract of your choice and the cannabis tincture. Add food coloring if desired.
4. Working quickly, pour the mixture into Jolly Rancher molds or silicone molds. If you don’t have molds, you can pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and break it into pieces once it has cooled.
5. Allow the Jolly Ranchers to cool and harden completely for about 30 minutes to an hour. Once hardened, pop them out of the molds or break into smaller pieces if using a baking sheet.
6. Store your weed-infused Jolly Ranchers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They should stay fresh for up to a month.
