I had really good luck on my first try. You can use any flavor of Jello you like.
I make the butter by adding 2 oz of quality trimmings to 1 lb of butter. Let the mixture start to boil then turn down to a simmer and cook 8-10 hours covered. Strain with cheese cloth and cool.
It will take some time to get the butter to mix with the rest of the ingredients and make sure you use a candy thermometer. You don't want your cooking temp to high or you will cook the THC right out of your candy. The better the quality of MM you use the higher / better the content of THC will be.
This is my mom's recipe and I'm not sure where she obtained it so I can't take credit for this one or give credit to the original creator.
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 (3-ounce) box cherry gelatin dessert
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
Butter or spray nonstick vegetable cooking spray onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Arrange half of the lollipop sticks on each and set aside.
Note: When measuring corn syrup, spray measuring cup with nonstick spray as corn syrup will pour out smoother.
In a small saucepan over medium heat add sugar, butter and corn syrup together until sugar has dissolved.
Slowly bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Insert a candy thermometer into syrup and continue cooking until temperature reaches 300 degrees F. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin until smooth. Cook's Note: This sugar syrup is very hot and can cause a painful burn!
Using a metal tablespoon and working quickly, drop heaping spoonfuls of lollipop syrup on end of each lollipop stick. Cool completely. Wrap each sucker in plastic wrap and store in an air tight container.
