MCT Oil Hard Candy Recipe

Directions

LEVO Prep

Activate

1. Pack LEVO Pod with 7 grams of coarsely ground flower.

2. Begin activate cycle at default setting of 240 F for 40 minutes.**

Infuse

1. Upon completion of Activate cycle, pour in ½ cup MCT oil. Run an infusion at 170°F degrees for 5 hours.

2. Dispense and store in an air tight container. Store in a cool dark place. 

Instructions

1. Spray your molds with spray coating. (Tip: Don’t over grease them. Just a fine spray coat. Use our Infusion Sprayer for easy application.)

2. Place oil, sugar, and corn syrup in a heavy bottom pan.
3. Place stove low-medium and stir mixture well. As soon as mixture begins to boil get that spatula out of the pot and insert your candy thermometer. (Tip: Ensure the thermometer is in the mixture but not resting directly on the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture boil. The temperature will come up. So resist the urge to increase the heat. It takes about 12-15 minutes or so.
4. The second that thermometer tells you the mixture is at 300 degrees remove the thermometer and take the pot off the stove.
5. Count to 20 and then add your food coloring and flavoring. Add your flavoring stir only a few times. It will harden very quickly.
6. Pour the mixture into a Pyrex measuring cup with a metal knife in it (it absorbs extra heat so your glass won’t shatter). Remove the knife.
7. Pour the mixture quickly into the molds.
8. Set in the fridge to set (takes less than a half hour).
9. Pop the candies out of their molds and place in small bowl with about 1/4 cup icing sugar. Roll to coat each so they won’t stick together. And make sure your candy is completely cool before this step or the icing sugar will just get absorbed into the candy and may be a little tacky.
10. Store in a cool, dry place (like a cupboard, but not the fridge).
