If you need to wait 2 hours before removing the lollies, how do you keep the rest of the liquid from hardening so you can refill the molds a few times? Thanks!
About to attempt!
Gonna try this tonight. I grow my own weed. How do I know the THC content? Make butter and gummies. Get a bit too fried. Whatever that is. Thanks for helping us oldtimers with sometimer memory
I made this recipe last night. Followed to a tee. The hard candy when cooked was delicious, but the problem is, when I added the thc oil, it seized up immediately and the oil just kind of sat on top. So I know I got he candy part right because it hardened with no crystals and wasn’t sticky. But any guesses as to why it seized and the thc oil didn’t combine? That’s the most important part!
When I let it cool to 250 and added my tincture….it started to seize up so I couldn’t pour it into the molds. What did I do wrong?
