Unlike distillate, a refined form of THC commonly used by edibles manufacturers, rosin needs good starting material because the extraction is essentially all about squeezing the good stuff out of cannabis or bubble hash. The process results in a more natural mix of terpenes and cannabinoids, and a very effective high.
Here are ten Colorado edibles makers with rosin-infused gummies on the market:
Dialed In
The OG of rosin edibles, Dialed In Gummies launched in 2020 and quickly ascended after shoppers experienced the flavor profiles and fuller effects. Dialed In's sous-vide technique — a method that applies pressure to vacuum-sealed bags placed in hot water — allows the gummies to retain more terpenes and cannabinoids, according to the company. Although the brand was bought out and is now part of a cannabis conglomerate, it's tough to beat Dialed In's flavor, consistency and availability in Colorado.
Olio
Olio's new rosin gummies weren't released without plenty of research and development, according to the company. Olio partnered with Day Three Labs, a Denver-based cannabis science firm with a licensed research facility in Israel, to come up with an infusion process that allegedly enables a stronger, more clear-headed edibles high. Each container of the Olio's rosin gummies includes a QR code that consumers can scan to learn more about the technology behind the gummies, as well as leave feedback about their respective experiences.
Candaze Dipz
Thanks to a unique frosted coating, consistent flavor and hard-hitting potency, Candaze gummies have spread quickly throughout Colorado. The ten-milligram fruit gummies are covered in a layer of chocolate or candy frosting, with green-apple gummies covered in caramel, cherry and orange gummies in dark chocolate, and raspberry, strawberry and grape gummies covered with a layer of peanut butter frosting. As Candaze grows, so have its offerings, with strawberry shortcake and berries and cream flavors some of our favorite additions so far.
Candaze also now sells standard rosin gummies (without the frosted coating) as well as hot "Island Heat" gummies.
Olio's first foray into edibles includes four flavors of rosin-infused gummies: blueberry, strawberry, green apple and watermelon.

The "bho" in Robhots originally stood for butane hash oil, but the Southern Colorado gummy maker has evolved far beyond that. The brand's new line of Robhots Plus rosin gummies is just over a year old, but has already worked with some of the state's top solventless extractors, including AllGreens, Apothecary Extracts, Leiffa and Terpman & Rosin. Each batch of gummies is made with strain-specific rosin, with terpene information included on the label.
Tastebudz
Also known for its vaporizer cartridges, Tastebudz has a line of rosin gummies available in four flavors — blue raspberry, kiwi-strawberry, tropical punch and watermelon — and a variety pack. Tastebudz squeezes its rosin in-house, and the Colorado-based gummy brand promises that each batch is strain-specific.
Edun
Made for smaller doses, Edun's rosin gummies come in jars of twenty, five-milligram squares. The rosin is first-press and strain-specific, and the gummies are gluten-free, according to the Parachute-based company, so they're a good choice for Celiacs and picky eaters. I've seen the gummies in cherry, pineapple and cherry limeade flavors, but hear Edun has expanded its flavor offerings as of late.
Lazercat
Longtime rosin lab Lazercat is relatively new to the gummy space, but fans have been happy with the Idaho Springs outfit's fruit chews so far. The fruit flavors and rosin strains are picked batch to batch to ensure the most interesting terpene combos, which you taste upfront and feel strongly on the back-end — just like a dab of Lazercat Ultraprimo.
Good Tide by Wyld
Once Wyld, one of the largest cannabis gummy makers west of the Mississippi, entered the rosin game, we knew this wasn't just a fad anymore. Now available in Colorado under Wyld's new Good Tide line, the three tropical flavors of rosin gummies — guava, mango and pineapple — are each dosed with 10 milligrams of solventless THC extract.
Rebel Rozzies
Just like its THC caramels, Rebel Edibles' rosin fruit chews, Rozzies, are tasty and popular among high-tolerance edible eaters. Sticking a few candy pebbles (aka generic Nerds) on top of the gummies was a smart move, too. Rozzies come in fruit punch, mango-peach, mixed berry and sour watermelon flavors, with a small group of strains (all listed on Rebel's website) responsible for the solventless infusion.
Cheeba Chews
Cheeba Chews may have been the first national edibles brand to jump on the rosin wave in Colorado. The company's foray into rosin edibles started with a collaboration with Soiku Bano, one of the state's most popular new solventless extractors, with more partnerships following. Select Cheeba Chew taffies are infused with strain-specific live rosin. -
