Bubbles in hard candy.

Note: there is no cannabis in this candy.

 

We are R&D hard candy and getting wierd surface bubbles. Could it be the heavy silicone mold? Any ideas or solutions?

Hmmmm - not really my area of expertise - but are you pouring it in while it's just stopped boiling?

Were the molds previously used for chocolate?  It looks like cocoa butter to me ...  air bubbles are clear.

 

Is this the part of the candy that touches the mold, or the exposed top?  Air bubbles rise to the top.

 

Crystallized sugar is opaque like that but sugar wouldn't have isolated crystals, the whole batch would turn.

I have since learned this will happen with all silicone molds.
