Notes

  • Make Good Cannabutter: To make the best cannabutter, use high-quality cannabis. Start with 1 cup of butter and about 1 cup of ground cannabis.
  • Use a Candy Thermometer: A candy thermometer is very helpful to get the right temperature for making candy. This ensures the candy sets properly.
  • Flavor It Up: You can add flavorings like vanilla, peppermint, or fruit extracts to your candy for an extra boost of taste. Just a few drops can make a big difference!
  • Keep It Safe: Remember that candy with cannabutter can have strong effects. Start with a small piece and wait to see how it affects you before eating more.
  • Storage: Store your candy in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It can last for several weeks if stored properly.
