Candela Live Resin Moonrock Minis Review

If you’re familiar with the Michigan cannabis market, there’s a good chance you already know the brand I’m reviewing today. The Live Resin Moonrock Minis by Candela come from a new craft grower that has only recently come online in Illinois.

These Moonrock Minis are packaged in a compact four-pack housed in a sturdy magnetic case that stays securely closed in your pocket or backpack. Inside, you’ll find four mini joints that are perfect for a quick walk or an easy toke on the go.

Each joint is brushed on the outside with live resin and then finished with a light dusting of kief. Unlike many infused pre-rolls on the market, these do not include added botanical terpenes to artificially boost flavor. Candela clearly has nothing to hide here, every joint delivered a flavorful experience from start to finish and burned evenly throughout.

The strain I received as a sample during a training was Rainbow Sherbet, a sativa-leaning hybrid. Some sources list the genetics as Champagne x Blackberry, while others argue it’s a cross of The Original Z x Gelato. Either way, the terpene profile was dialed in, offering creamy, sweet, and fruity notes from the dry hit all the way through ignition.

After smoking all four minis, each one burned cleanly with no canoeing or clogging, issues that are all too common with infused pre-rolls. While some consumers may prefer larger infused joints, we’ve all seen 1-gram infused pre-rolls canoe immediately, which is especially frustrating given Illinois pricing. By the time I finished one mini, I felt noticeably more social and mentally uplifted, without any anxiety creeping in.

Most infused pre-rolls on the market rely on distillate and added botanical terpenes, so it’s refreshing to see a product infused with live resin and nothing extra. If you’re looking to add a high-quality infused pre-roll option to your stash, I’d absolutely recommend checking out the Candela live resin Moonrock Minis. These feel like a perfect fit for summer street fests, concerts, or music festivals where convenience and consistency really matter.
