These moulds are sorted from smallest to largest:
1ml cubes – https://amzn.to/2WDutZt
1ml chips mould – https://amzn.to/2ZaJMdu – NEVER PERSONALLY USED. It was the only universal shaped 1 ml mould I could find on the site. The cube mould I use for candy, is 1ml, but you DO NOT want to clean chocolate out of it. It’s not worth the sweat.
1.5ml coffee beans mould – https://amzn.to/3dPmYUT – I love this one for chocolates, candies and cough drops!
2.5ml squares – https://amzn.to/2ZaWKrZ – Good all purpose mould
12ml suckers – https://amzn.to/2z1PCTS
12.3ml squares – https://amzn.to/2WE6OI0 – Cute and unmistakably medicated.

Here’s Today’s recipe:
Cannabis Infused Hard Candy
Yield:
300+Lightly Medicated Candies (approx 2mg THC Per)
Ingredients:
2 cups Canna-sugar
2/3 cup Corn syrup
3/4 Cup of Water
1-2 tsp Flavouring oil OR 1 (3-ounce) box Gelatin dessert*
1-2 Tbsp of Powdered sugar or cocoa (optional)
*Jello flavouring will cause a gritty texture to the final product. It will also cause a texture shift as the candy ages. Flavouring oil is highly recommended.
Special equipment:
Candy thermometer
Silicone Spatula
Silicone candy moulds
Directions:
Prep all the moulds for filling before starting candy.
In a small saucepan combine all ingredients except flavouring in a medium saucepan. Place on stove over medium-high(never higher) heat.
Place candy thermometer in candy mixture and watch for the appropriate temperature shown on the chart below. DO NOT STIR! Stirring the mixture while heating it causes the final product to have a gritty texture.
Remove from heat and allow to cool until bubbling stops
Stir in gelatin or flavour oil quickly until blended.
Cook’s Note: This sugar syrup is very hot and can cause a painful burn! Have a cup of cool water handy in case of accidental contact.
Pour your candy mixture into the moulds while still hot. Be sure to tap out the bubbles out and flatten the top so every piece is the same size.
*If you place the filled moulds into the oven at 200ºf for a few minutes, it will allow the candy to melt down into the moulds for more even doses.
240ºf-250ºf
