Welcome back everyone! Today we have a tasty little candy treat for you all. Very simple ingredients and a breeze to make. These little edible beauties are called "Kohakutou" which roughly translates to "Amber Sugar." Each piece has a crunchy outside that once you bite in exposes the soft jelly interior. Flavors and color combinations are vast and are only limited by your imagination!

First let's get our CBD out of the way!

For this recipe you will need the following

-Pot of water about halfway filled

-A glass measuring cup

-2 oz MCT Oil (Picked up from Whole Foods)

-1 gram Active CBD Oil 99% CBD Isolate Hemp Powder.

*We are only going to be using 1 tablespoon (about 15 mL) of the MCT/CBD mix for this recipe which may leave about 45 mL unused unless you plan on making more, you can store it back in the original after it has cooled, or you can get a 2 oz glass bottle/dropper and store it as a tincture!!

1. Put 2 oz of MCT oil in a glass measuring cup.

2. Now place that glass cup of oil in the pot of water.

3. Keep the heat low, you want the oil to warm, not boil.

4. Once oil is warm, add 1 gram of CBD isolate into the cup of oil.

5. Stir occasionally until the liquid becomes clear and not cloudy. This should take around 5 minutes.

6. Once liquid is clear, you have an infused oil!

7. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature.

8.You can now set the oil aside until needed, (will be used to mix into the agar/water mix)

CBD is all set up! Now we can move on to the candy part ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's get to it! Here is the list of ingredients that we will be needing for the Candy

-1/2 Tablespoon Agar Agar Sea Vegetable Flakes (Picked up from Whole Foods Market. 1 oz bag was around $9)

-3/4 Cup White Sugar (I used Imperial Sugar which is Vegan Friendly! Be cautious, not all sugar is vegan friendly so choose your brand carefully!!)

-3/4 Cup Water

-1 Tablespoon CBD Infused MCT Oil (If you make 10 pieces of equal size each will be roughly 24 mg CBD per piece)

-1 Teaspoon Flavored Syrup ( )

-1 or 2 Coffee Cups/Mugs (This will be used as the mold for the candy)

-*OPTIONAL*- Silicon mold (If you wanted some unique shapes a silicon mold will be a huge help!! Otherwise we can use the Coffee Cups and make some more rock type candies. I chose one that is a bit more fun!)

Now that we have all the ingredients rounded up, let's get down to it ^_^

1- In a small pot, add the sugar and set aside for a bit.

2- In a separate pot, add water and agar powder. Melt the powder over medium heat, stirring frequently. Keep stirring until the Agar has completely dissolved (This takes about 5 mins)

3- BE VERY CAREFUL! Pour the now super hot mix of the Agar/Water into the pot with the sugar that we had set aside Stir a bit to get things going and then place the pot on the oven at medium heat. Now add in 1 Tablespoon of the CBD Infused MCT Oil from earlier. Keep that stirring hand strong! Stir the mix and let the sugar dissolve thoroughly. Continue stirring to prevent any burning. It will be very foamy & bubbly, this is what you want. Keep on stirring for another 6-8 minutes until you start to see some strings starting to form.

4- Remove from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of your syrup of choice. Mix well and immediately pour into the Coffee Cup/Mug or mold

5- Place inside the fridge and let it cool & set. When it's ready you should be able to cut them with no issues at all.

6- Remove from the fridge and cut into small pieces (10 cubes around the same size or get creative) and place them on a baking sheet. Let the candies sit for 4 to 6 days until their surface dries out completely. I know the wait is excruciating but we are making candy here and patience always has the best rewards!

Or you can just eat them after they've cooled! If you wait a few days the exterior will harden a bit more giving it a delightful crunch on the outside while still maintaining the soft jelly like interior, but it's all personal preference! I hope you enjoyed this tasty little treat.
