- 1 cup of sugar
- ¼ cup of corn syrup
- ½ cup of water

- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 01: Prepare Equipment
- Before you begin, ensure all your equipment is ready. Have your saucepan, candy thermometer, molds, and other tools within reach. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
Step 02: Combine Ingredients
- In your saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir everything together until the sugar dissolves completely. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
Step 03: Heat Mixture
- Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on the temperature using the candy thermometer.
Step 04: Boil
- Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Let it boil until the candy reaches 250°F (hard ball stage), which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 05: Add Cannabutter
- Once the sugar mixture has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat. Stir in the cannabutter and mix thoroughly until it melts and combines with the candy mixture.
Step 06: Remove from Heat
- Once everything is well combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in any optional flavorings or extracts.
Step 07: Pour into Molds
- Carefully pour the hot candy mixture into your molds. If you’re using parchment paper, you can drop spoonfuls onto it, shaping them as you go.
Step 08: Cool
- Let the candy cool for at least 30 minutes or until it hardens completely.
Step 09: Store
- Once cooled, store the candy in an airtight container. For extra freshness, keep them in the fridge.
