Edible gummy worms have become a popular treat for both children and adults alike. These colorful, chewy candies are not only delicious but also offer a fun and creative way to enjoy cannabis. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of whimsy to your next party or simply want to try something new, making your own edible gummy worms is a straightforward and enjoyable process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to create your very own batch of these tasty treats.
Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 cup of gummy worm candy (available at most grocery stores)
– 1/2 cup of cooking oil (such as coconut or vegetable oil)
– 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup of water
– 1/4 cup of gelatin (powdered or sheet)
– Food coloring (optional)
– Flavoring (optional, such as vanilla extract or cannabis oil)
Instructions
1. Begin by boiling the water in a saucepan. Once the water is boiling, add the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the cooking oil, honey or maple syrup, and flavoring (if using). Add the food coloring to the mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the oil, honey, and flavoring mixture, stirring constantly to ensure even distribution.
4. Pour the mixture into a mold or baking dish that’s been lined with parchment paper. If you’re using a mold, press the gummy worms into the mixture to ensure they are fully submerged.
5. Place the mold or dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is set.
6. Once the mixture is set, remove the gummy worms from the mold or dish. If using a mold, gently push the gummy worms out of the mold.
7. Enjoy your homemade edible gummy worms!
Pro Tips
– If you’re using cannabis oil, add it to the mixture before the gelatin is added to ensure even distribution.
– To create different flavors, experiment with different extracts or flavorings.
– For a more potent effect, consider adding more cannabis oil or using stronger strains.
– Keep your edible gummy worms stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their potency and freshness.
Making your own edible gummy worms is a fun and rewarding project that allows you to customize the taste and potency to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of patience, you can enjoy these delicious treats at your next gathering or any time you feel like indulging in a little something extra. Happy baking!
