I agree. They look much nicer than mine. Mine were brown colored from the hash.
The biggest problem I had this time was the massive amount of volume that the hash contributed to the mix. 12 grams of hash is a pretty big pile. When I put it in the mix (which was only half of the posted recipe), the volume of the hash was more than the sugar, water and corn syrup.
So, it started foaming and bubbling. To get it mixed properly I had to leave it on the stove a little longer and the temp hit about 320F. These things are as hard as a rock. LOL
I need to substitute something for the dry hash. Oil is the perfect answer but I was thinking of taking some hash and mixing it with vegetable glycerin. VG is a natural sweetener anyway so it should mix well with the candy concept. I could heat the glycerin slightly and let the hash infuse a little bit. Then, add it all to the mix.
It's still going to be a lot of volume but I can, perhaps, substitute some of the corn syrup or water for the glycerin to keep the recipe close to accurate.
It's all about my dosing problem. I need to make them so each piece of candy is about equal to 1 gram of hash. But I really love the idea of hard candy. I am definitely making more of this. Actually, next on my list is cannabis bubble gum.
I am trying to find the gum pellets locally.
I need to clean out a closet tomorrow so the entire day is devoted to bubble hash making. After that, I should have a ton of hash to experiment with. I'm going to try it in very small batches at first until I find the right mix.
Thanks again for the idea and the motivation. I can only hope mine come out like yous. Very nice.
I want the recipe for Regal Crown Sours. LOL
