Although each licensed producer boasts its own secret recipes — the fundamental process of making soft chews aligns with traditional candy-making methods, with the notable addition of cannabis.
Step 1: Mixing the Ingredients
Guided by a carefully crafted recipe, a symphony of sugar, water, and a thickening agent dances in specialised equipment, creating a watery solution with the perfect “brix” or sugar content. Some might offer a softer, cleaner bite with minimal stickiness, avoiding the typical gelatin. Intense fruity flavours, gleaned from customer preferences, are meticulously infused to minimise the cannabis taste. Distillate, chosen for easy blendability and near-flavourless properties, is then seamlessly incorporated.
Step 2: Taking Shape
The liquid concoction takes form as it’s injected into moulds, left to cool, and solidify. Once set, the soft chews emerge, Some may go the extra mile by tumbling them in sugar for a sweet kick and to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Quality Testing
Beyond crafting, meticulous testing is crucial. Analytical chemists conduct in-house tests on each batch, deploying cutting-edge equipment to verify that THC and CBD content aligns with the labels as well as allowing them to sample products throughout production, ensuring a optimal end product.
