-1/2 cup of granulated sugar
-1/4 cup of corn syrup
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
-1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
-1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)

The Process
Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis evenly on a baking sheet, and bake for 40-60 minutes. The longer you cook it, the more potent the candy will be. Let the cannabis cool, then grind it into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or food processor.
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup (250 ml) of water and 1 cup (250 ml) of sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of light corn syrup, and continue to stir until the mixture comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, and add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Add the cannabis powder to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a silicone candy mold or onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let the candy harden at room temperature for 2-3 hours, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
