@emgoldslo @Nothingshocking - Tagging you guys here as well, my new blog
FIRST HOW TO KNOW HOW MUCH CONCENTRATE TO USE!
My recipe below makes 28-30 bears.
1 gram of concentrate/wax is about 750mg THC (this doesn’t matter on the strength of the cannabis you use. Higher THC plants will just produce a larger volume of concentrate)
I want approximately 25mg per bear X 30 bears = 750mg THC total
Since 1g of concentrate = 750mg of THC - I need 1g of concentrate for the recipe.
I use 1 inch / 3.5ml bear molds super cheap on Amazon
I started with a 3.5 ounce dark chocolate bar (of course, you can choose any kind of chocolate bar you like. We just like dark chocolate
And 1 gram of wax. Now this stuff is really sticky right?
How I measure this sticky stuff is this:
I take a piece of styrofoam and put a toothpick in it. Put it on the scale and zero it out. then I take the toothpick out and scoop out some wax (if you need to put more on the toothpick, just use another toothpick to add wax to the original toothpick because it is so sticky, it’s hard to add any more wax to the first toothpick LOL
This is what a gram of wax looks like:
It’s a little runny so make sure it doesn’t fall off the toothpick while you’re getting everything else around. I recommend that you measure it out right before you are going to use it LOL!
Now, I break up the chocolate bar into a small dish (leave out a few pieces to ‘temper’ the chocolate when you’re done melting.
Into the microwave for about 3 minutes (your microwave may vary but it should be mostly melted)
Out of the microwave it should be mostly melted but not all the way. Throw in your chocolate pieces that you kept out and stir the mixture with the toothpick of the concentrate/wax.
When all the wax has melted off of the toothpick…
keep stirring with a spoon until you see absolutely no lumps! One of those lumps might be a chunk of wax lol!!! You wouldn’t want that to happen!
Ready to make the chocolate bears! Make sure you put the bear mold on a flat plate or cutting board first because it will be impossible to move the tray after it’s filled!
Then just carefully spoon chocolate into each cavity. Some people use a syringe of sorts. I have a cheap one I bought ate the hardware store in the paint area but for the chocolates, I find it just as easy to spoon it in. There is no rush, the chocolate stays workable and if not, just pop it back in the microwave.
Now pop the mold into the fridge for a few hours and you’re done! I put them into an airtight container and keep them stored in the fridge.
PLEASE ENJOY RESPONSIBLY! Wait an hour or two before you decide how many you should take. You can always take more LOL!
This time it made 32 bears but somehow my hubby usually manages to steal the spoon and bowl from me before I can get the extra few bears out of it LOL!
