How To Make THC Gummy Bears That Are Shelf Stable and Taste Amazing From A Pastry Chef

[@adamarzo559]

For anyone like me who was wondering if you can use coconut oil instead of distillate the answer is yes. I can't speak for what distillate tastes like but for me the cannabis taste was quite pronounced with the coconut oil. However in saying that I did not use any form of measurement when adding the oil. I have no idea the strength of my oil, edibles or anything. I used 3 squirts of those small pippets full of oil into the gummy mix. I ended up eating all the spillage, or the residue from the bowls, spoons etc and I'm quite medicated right now.

[@crystalrockbc]

Thank you so much for trying this out! This will help a lot of people who are wondering and I personally have never tried it. Hope your enjoying them =)

[@adamarzo559]

@@crystalrockbc Thank you for the recipe. About to make another batch now. Quick, easy and delicious.

[@user-pv2by7nv1x]

Was wondering this.. you think adding 1/4-1/3 cup oil would work. Is more gelatin needed?

[@adamarzo559]

@@user-pv2by7nv1x It would probably work. The second batch I made using the exact same method as described in the video I doubled the amount of oil I used and they came out fine. I personally noticed a bit of oil that gathered on the bottom of the gummies but they still held form and had the normal gummy bounce. I used 6 squirts of the same pipettes that Crystal uses in the video full of oil in the second batch. The first I used 3.

For anybody who has trouble using the dropper to pour your gummies, a confectioner’s funnel works beautifully! Just use a paper towel to lightly coat the inside with some melted coconut oil before you pour your mixture in it (less of your mixture will stick to it). To clean the funnel after use all you need to do is fill it with hot water, pour that water in the sink by running through the funnel like you did with your mixture. Cleanup is easy peasy! Great recipe, am now a new follower 😊!

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

I always just buy a cheap ketchup dispenser and use hand warmera to keep warm while using. Hold a lot and easy to use.

You are awesome, I’ve been going crazy trying to find a good tutorial that doesn’t involve bogus jello. This video is more informative than the videos you find from the big channels on how to make just regular gummy bears. Great job!

exactly this! i have been looking for anyone that used the gelatin thinges instead of powderd gelatin just made a version (not this tutorial but it was wayyy to solid to be used in a pipet haha) will try this one next with mct oil for 100 gummies need to figure out how to exactly dose this and the mct oil but should be doable!

[@farmerjhemp]

Pro tip premix distillate 1 to 1 with MCT oil by weight. Then you have a shelf stable oil easy to dose and mix.

[@crystalrockbc]

That's a great tip!

[@adamthehipster]

Add sunflower lecithin, if it's not already in your coconut oil. You don't have to use new concentrates, reclaim from your dab rig can be between 30 and 70% thc (vaires, too many factors to list) it has already been decarbed, it's concentrated and mixes and easily. Formulating the dose by determining the strength of your concentrate divided over the total amount of final pieces

[@adamthehipster]

Potassium sorbate is a great natural mold inhibitor. Can make these vegan by substituting for Agar agar

[@t.murphy205]

agree about adding like a heavy tsp of vegetable lecithin... this will help quite a bit with thc oil emulsification, otherwise this recipe is great! there is just no reason to be adding the alcohol its not going to help with binding just distribution of oil

[@JoshuaPernaDavid]

Thank you Crystal Rock! These are legit gummys. Made them a few times now.

[@nastyn81980]

When she says to use .550 grams is that in each cup or the entirety of the recipe, or .550 per cup of gummy mix?

[@zito88]

I've seen a similar recipe using glucose and sheet gelatin, they put the sheet gelatin in the blender to break it up into pieces to bloom it. Not sure if it makes a huge difference but it will definitely increase the surface area and help the gelatin hydrate faster.

[@BeachPeach2010]

I've been searching for a decent gummie recipe and I'm going to try yours first because you said the magic word for me.... Haribo! Can't wait to see how they measure up. 👍

[@jenniferfletcher5425]

Did you?

[@derek4429]

Hey Crystal, this recipe is honestly great and I'm super glad I came across it. Thanks for posting it! Question for you: am I able to replace the gelatin sheets with powdered unflavoured gelatin? I read that you can use a gram per gram replacement between the two, but that powdered gelatin will give a cloudier result than sheets. My concern is if it will impact the texture of the gummies at all?

[@chasew020]

Lightly heat up your Everclear and distillate and mix the two together and then add to the gelatin works a lot better

[@adinirenberg5480]

Instead of using the microwave, & to reduces prodect loss I would recommend using a bowl half way full of warm water & placing the contaner you put the product in & submerge into the bowl of water to allow it to liquefy Less bubbles easier to work with also keep changing the water if you noice your batch hardens

[@AmishHitman73.Archive]

my vote for recipe of the year is one this one

[@MrTmoney0985]

I have a Levo 2 and their gummy mixer machine. I am going to try and convert the recipe. Love the Levo, but their mix packet that makes 75, 3ml gummys is $20-24 each. Also I bought a 4pk of sugar candy flavors to coat the bottoms with. Makes it so they does not stick together and helps cut the MCT oil taste. Love the video and thank you for a great recipe!

[@globalizedissent]

If you ever happened to convert the recipe I'd love to have it please! I have the Levo as well and been using their mixes for some time

[@hennieventer6316]

Best gummy method and recipe by far! Thank you Crystal!

[@gta_seeds]

The gummies will never be consistent without properly mixing the distillate. Your distillate will seperate rise to the top because oil does not bond to water, if you leave it standing for too long, you need a homogenizer

[@markjoyner5370]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you

[@Verified_Villains]

[@edwardsoto7893]

THIS is extremely helpful, thank you. Can you please do a video showing a method of making them using tincture? I don't have access to distillate

[@celsemma1701]

ok question, i notice in the video you just did, you had mouled 50 orange bears. did you use up all the mix? so the jug of orange mixed has 0.5ml of thc say. so in order to get roughly 0.10ml in each gummie do you have to use all of the orange mix ? like saying if you finishes filling the 50 moulds on the tray and then you have left over product. will that now mean that each gummie dont have 0.10ml of THC in it?

[@violentnewworld]

No metal spoon stirring in a metal pan! 😂😂😂

[@henryrodriguez7908]

😂 Thought the same thing-but was high when I watched it-so I second guessed the thought😂like🤔..... Metal on metal?🤔?Checks out😂

[@80seahawks]

This gummy recipe works extremely well. The only problem I have is getting the hash oil or “distillate” to dissolve constantly. Granted, I have customers that order 50mg bears so it takes quite a bit, but sometimes it dissolves completely, and sometimes it breaks up into small chunks. Tried adding alcohol to the mix but not much success. Next I will try to dissolve the oil in the alcohol to see if that helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated! UPDATE: a trial run of 10mg bears dissolving the oil in the small amount of ever clear 95% then adding it into the mixture after you skim off the bubbles. Dissolving was the first thing I did to allow maximum time for alcohol to evaporate. If anyone is curious about temp of the sugar glucose mixture she speaks of getting nice and homogenized, I found the 200 degrees Fahrenheit. I use squirt bottles to dispense and have a lot of hot water I can set them in if they happen to get too cold. Being in the culinary business for 20+ years this recipe is 10/10. Extremely good job. I use this recipe every time without fail now!!!!

Is there any issues with the thc sweating out of the gummies? Does using a fan help preventing the sweating of the gummy? I made them non medicated first and noticed they looked like they sweat a little during the 48 hour cure. Ended up great for non medicated

[@crystalrockbc]

I've never had an issue with the thc sweating out of the gummies but I use distillate, I can't say if using canna oil would be the same result. I definitely recommend using a fan during the 48 hour cure. It will help them dry much more efficiently.

hi Crystal, great video! thank you. I love your style of teaching. I have a couple of questions...

[@crystalrockbc]

Hi, thank you so much! I unfortunately have never heard of a green dragon tincture, I'm sure it can definitely be added to the batch as well as the sugar but I wouldn't be able to give you any sort of accurate dosing. This recipe makes 250 small gummy bears so lets say your tincture was 1000mg of thc you could do 1000 divided by 250 = 4mg each. I formulate my recipes only using a weight measurement system because it's the only real accurate measurement when you're looking to make a specific dosage but you can find gram scales on amazon for super cheap around $20.

I’m not sure if I should add some to your recipe or if you think that would be unnecessary? Thank you for the very well done and informative video!

[@crystalrockbc]

I've never added it in myself, I generally ad a small amount of grain alcohol as I'm using distillate and the amount of oil I'm adding is very small because the thc percentage is 99% but if you are using a coconut oil infusion it's probably useful as you will have to ad a lot more oil. I haven't done it this way so I can't tell you how much to ad. Thanks for watching! Would love to hear how it works out for you

[@igorgois728]

Lecithin is a stabilizer on water/oil emulsion, since the alcohol blends with the THC and with the water, there is no need of using It.

[@weso18]

Can’t purchase Everclear 190 Proof in my state (Florida). 151 Proof is the best I can buy, and on top of that my distillate is only 80%. How much lechitin would you add to this in place of the Everclear alcohol? Or would you think the 151 proof would be sufficient? 🤨

[@stefhanieinsinga-ash2093]

​@@weso18150proof and over is sufficient. I live in Delaware and when they run out of 190 everclear I have to 150 for my tincture. Just be really really careful no open flames no gas stoves induction plates or double boiler using a rice cooker or crockpot.
