Success! My Tasty Kief Candy

I know there's already a ton of information on candy making in the forums, but tonight I tried my hand at making my own hard and soft kief candy and I thought I would share my experience with all of you lovelies.

I found the entire process to be simple and fun, and the end results were better than I could have hoped for; potent and tasty.

For the hard batch, I decided to do a cotton candy bubble gum flavor.
I used this easy recipe:
1 cup regular white sugar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tbsp kief butter (the potency is up to you; I used 1g super dank mixed kief)
A couple splashes of lor-ann candy flavoring, depending on your preference. (I used 1/4dram cotton candy, 1/4 dram bubble gum and a few drops of watermelon)

I heated the sugar, syrup and water in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until my candy thermometer read 300º F.

As soon as it hit 300º, I took it off the heat and mixed in the kief butter and flavor oil quickly until the mix appeared homogenous. I then poured it onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and dusted with powdered sugar.

When the liquid candy cooled enough to become pliable, I quickly cut it into strips, then bite sized pieces with kitchen sheers and tossed them around in more powdered sugar to keep the pieces from sticking together.

From there, you can allow them to cool further and package them in an air tight container or a plastic bag.





For the second batch, I went for pink lemonade.
I cut the first recipe in half except for the amount of kief in the butter (this way they would be twice as potent). I also used 1/2dram of lemonade flavoring, and tossed them in a mix of jell-o powder and confectioner's sugar to make them more sour.

The reason that they came out soft instead of hard is that I didn't let the candy reach the full 300º. Instead, I only heated them to about 285ºF, within soft crack range. The result was a hard taffy consistency that could pull a crown out if you're not careful!





They turned out great. Both have a noticably green flavor, but it's nothing hashy or overpowering. I could eat these candies all day long.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Note: I made my mix weak so that I could munch without overmedicating. The potency should be based on your own tolerance and preference. It may take a while for you to feel the effects. Be patient and wait before re-dosing.

 

I had about 5 medium sized pieces and I slept like a baby.

I can get at least 15 soothing servings from the amount of candy I made, or fewer stronger buzzes.

I kinda like the weedy taste. It reminds me that they are medicated and keeps me from over indulging.

Thanks for all the replies gentlemen!

 

I'm no expert, and there is lots of information on candy making online but I would think it would be fine to add any concentrate of your choice.

I added kief butter to a normal candy recipe and it worked perfect.

Post pics if you do end up making some!

 

Here's the Lor-Ann website to give you an idea of what flavors you could try. I picked up mine at Farmking, but they have them in craft and hobby stores too.

I might do root beer, sour cherry and banana sometime soon. Mint or Egg Nog flavor would make good holiday gifts...

Oh! And check out candy molds! They're super awesome looking, and if I wasn't so poor atm I'd be scooping a balloon shaped one for lollipops!.

 

Nope, no where near. Does your buddy use kief too, or another concentrate?

Oh, and what flavors does he make/do you like?

 

I cut the original recipe in half for my hard candy, and in 4ths for my hard taffy, so i think the potency of ours should be about the same.

Watermelon sounds delicious though! Juicy enough to cure cottonmouth

 

Sweet

How do you mold your candy so neatly? Do you pour it straight from the pan, spoon it, or?

 

"This stoner was just starrrrring at me!" Lol, try not to creep anyone out!
