    Default Candy Problems

    Hi can anyone tell me if there is an alternative to using lecithin as a binder please?
    I’ve not been able to get any from the supermarket so I just poured my hot candy mix with tincture into silicone ice cube trays.
    The result was hit and miss with some sweets stronger than others.
    You could actually tell the oil had floated to the top of the candy mix.
    I basically made coconut oil infused with cannabis but I believe you are supposed to use a binder, which I didn’t as I couldn’t get it.
    Any ideas for alternatives please?

    How did you use it as naturally I’ve already made my oil.
    Do I just add it to the candy mix at the same time as the oil or do I need to do something different?
    Thanks.

    The lecithin comes in pills. Once I have decarbed and dissolved in coconut oil/butter, I then empty the pills (cut off end with knife and squeeze) and warm for a further five minutes or so stirring continuous with a whisk (it is gloopy) and then make into cake/cookies etc.

    It is just a fat emulsifier. Will intensify the hit - not improve the cooking ;-)

    Edit : For you warm up the oil, add some lecithin pills without skin.. warm.... nothing more than a warm under simmer ...... just to infuse....... incorporate for 5 mins then mix to candy cake/etc.
