CBD Lollipop Recipe

Cannabutter Digest
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups of sugar
  • 40 mL of CBD oil
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • 2 tsp flavor extract

Instructions
 

  • Setting Up Your Workspace
    Start by preparing your workspace. Line your countertop with parchment paper and lightly grease your lollipop molds with coconut oil. This step will prevent the lollipops from sticking and ensure they come out smoothly. Have your candy thermometer, lollipop sticks, and wet pastry brush ready.
  • Creating the Candy Mixture
    In a medium saucepan, combine the organic sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Once dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and insert your candy thermometer into the mixture. As the mixture heats, use your wet pastry brush to clean any sugar crystals off the sides of the pan. This prevents the formation of stubborn hard candy trails.
  • Reaching the Hard Crack Stage
    Continue cooking the candy mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage, which is around 300 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, the candy will form little hard candy trails when dripped into cold water. Be sure not to stir the mixture as it heats, as this can cause crystallization.
  • Adding Cannabutter or Cannabis Tincture
    Once the candy mixture has reached the desired temperature, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly and carefully stir in the cannabutter or cannabis tincture until fully incorporated. If you're using food coloring, add a few drops at this stage. Work swiftly, as the temperature drops quickly, and you want the mixture to remain fluid for easy pouring.
  • Pouring the Candy into Molds
    Carefully pour the hot candy mixture into your prepared lollipop molds. Insert the lollipop sticks into each mold and allow the lollipops to cool completely. This process should take about 15-20 minutes. Once cool, remove the cannabis lollipops from the molds and place them on parchment paper to ensure they don’t stick together.
  • Storing Your Homemade Weed Lollipops
    To keep your cannabis-infused lollipops fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Proper storage will help preserve the potency and flavor of the lollipops. If you’re making a large batch, you can also dust them lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
