Xite

A 1903 Colorado Candy Factory That Turned to THC

Xite is the hemp edible line from Patsy's Candies, a Colorado Springs chocolate maker in business since 1903 and now one of the country's largest THC edible producers. The catalog runs across decadent chocolates, butter cream caramels, fruit chews and gummies, candied popcorn and a sugar-free line. Most pieces use a balanced 1:1 ratio of Delta-9 THC to CBD with full-spectrum hemp extract, made from real ingredients in a GMP-certified facility. It is candy-shop craftsmanship applied to cannabis edibles.

What Is the 1:1 Delta-9 to CBD Ratio in Xite and Why Does It Feel Smoother?

Most Xite products are built on a balanced 1:1 ratio of Delta-9 THC to CBD, commonly 15mg of each per piece. That balance is the heart of the experience. The CBD works alongside the THC through the entourage effect, taking the edge off the high and producing a calmer, more controlled feeling rather than an overwhelming one. Xite uses full-spectrum hemp extract rather than isolated THC, which keeps the minor cannabinoids and terpenes in the mix for a more rounded, whole-plant effect. The result is an edible that experienced users describe as functional and pleasant rather than the ceiling-hitting intensity of higher-THC products without CBD balance. The 1:1 formula is also why Xite works well for buyers new to THC edibles — the CBD moderates the psychoactive intensity enough that first-time effects are approachable rather than disorienting.

Who Makes Xite — The Patsy's Candies Story Behind a 120-Year-Old Colorado Factory?

Xite is the THC edible brand of Patsy's Candies, the oldest family-owned chocolate factory in Colorado, in operation since 1903. The story starts in the late 1800s with an Irish immigrant named Patsy Mehaney who perfected a candied popcorn recipe selling at local fairs in Terra Haute, Indiana. Legend has it a company called Cracker Jack heard of his recipe, made a deal for it, and Patsy moved west — settling at the foot of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs, Colorado in 1903 where he founded Patsy's Candies. The factory has operated through four generations of the Niswonger family and remains in Colorado Springs to this day. Every Xite product is made in that same in-house facility using full-spectrum hemp extract sourced from locally grown Colorado hemp plants — the same manufacturing operation that has been producing chocolates, caramels and candied popcorn for over 120 years. The brand now sells through 4,800+ stores across 34 states and has accumulated over 1,200 reviews.

What Formats Does Xite Make — From Chocolate Bars to Candied Popcorn?

  • Decadent Chocolates (15mg THC : 15mg CBD each): Milk Chocolate Minis, Dark Chocolate Minis, Cookies and Cream Minis — 5-piece bags or 70-piece bins.

Which Xite Edible Should You Start With Based on Your Dose and Format?

Match the product to your experience level and your preferred consumption format:

  • First time with THC edibles: Start with the Hard Candy microdose format — 2mg THC and 2mg CBD per piece across 9 flavors in a 50-piece jar. Stack the dose precisely rather than guessing on a 15mg piece. Two candies for a gentle introduction. Wait the full 60-90 minute onset window before any reassessment. See the full microdose THC edibles collection at Pro Cannabis for every low-dose entry-point format.
  • Comfortable with 10-15mg THC: The Minis — Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Cookies and Cream — at 15mg THC : 15mg CBD per piece are the volume sellers for a reason. Single-piece dose, real chocolate quality, 1:1 balance. The Butter Cream Caramels and Peanut Butter Nuggets offer the same dose in different formats for buyers who want variety across sessions.
  • Experienced users or sharing: The Milk Chocolate Bar (300mg) and Dark Chocolate Bar (250mg) are the full-bar formats — break-and-dose at your own pace, or share across multiple people. The 1,200mg Fruit Gummies are the highest-potency Xite format, suited to experienced consumers with established tolerance — browse the complete high-potency edible formats at Pro Cannabis for every high-dose option alongside Xite.
  • Sugar-free or allergy needs: The D9 Sugar-Free 100mg Fruit Gummy covers sugar-avoidance. All Xite products are gluten-free and GMO-free. Check individual product ingredient lists for specific allergen information — Peanut Butter Nuggets contain milk and peanuts, Dubai Nuggets contain milk and tree nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Xite Edibles

Xite is made by Patsy's Candies, a family-owned chocolate maker in Colorado Springs that has been crafting confections since 1903 — the oldest family-owned chocolate factory in Colorado, now in its fourth generation under the Niswonger family. After more than a century perfecting chocolates, caramels and candied popcorn, the company applied those same recipes to hemp, becoming one of the largest THC edible manufacturers in the country with distribution across 4,800+ stores in 34 states. That heritage is the brand's defining feature: rather than a cannabis startup learning to make candy, Xite is a 120-year-old candy company that learned to make cannabis edibles — and the quality of the underlying confection reflects that order of operations. Every product is manufactured in-house at the Colorado Springs factory using full-spectrum hemp extract sourced from locally grown Colorado hemp plants.

The 1:1 ratio — typically 15mg Delta-9 THC and 15mg CBD per piece — produces a calmer, more controlled effect than THC alone because the CBD moderates the psychoactive intensity of the Delta-9 through direct receptor interaction and the entourage effect. Standard high-THC edibles without CBD can produce anxiety, paranoia or an overwhelming high at the same milligram count, particularly for newer users. CBD at an equivalent dose takes the edge off those effects while preserving the relaxation, mood lift and physical ease that buyers want from a THC edible. For experienced users, the 1:1 formula tends to feel mellow and functional rather than heavily intoxicating — suitable for social situations, evening relaxation or a mellow daytime experience. For first-time or sensitive buyers, the CBD balance makes the 15mg THC dose significantly more approachable than it would be without it.

Full-spectrum hemp extract contains the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids naturally present in the hemp plant rather than a single isolated compound. Xite sources its full-spectrum extract from locally grown Colorado hemp plants, ensuring the extract retains the minor cannabinoids and terpenes that isolated Delta-9 THC or CBD alone would not include. Those additional compounds are believed to work synergistically — the entourage effect — producing a fuller, more rounded experience than a single-compound isolate delivers. Full-spectrum extract also aligns with Patsy's Candies' clean-ingredient philosophy: using the whole plant in its natural form rather than a synthetic or highly processed isolate. Every Xite batch is third-party lab tested for potency and purity, with Certificates of Analysis published per batch and available on the product pages.

Xite offers a dedicated sugar-free line — including the D9 Sugar-Free 100mg Fruit Gummy — for buyers who need to avoid added sugar while still accessing the 1:1 hemp formula with full-spectrum extract. Beyond that, the entire Xite catalogue is gluten-free and GMO-free, with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no preservatives across every product. For specific allergen needs: the Peanut Butter Nuggets contain milk and peanuts, the Dubai Nuggets contain milk and tree nuts (pistachios), and milk is present in most chocolate formats. Buyers with severe allergies should review the full ingredients list on each individual product page before ordering. The Fruity Flavors line, Hard Candy and Candied Popcorn formats are the lowest-allergen options in the catalogue for buyers avoiding dairy.

The Xite origin story traces back to an Irishman named Patsy Mehaney who, legend has it, traded his famous candied popcorn recipe in a gambling deal to the brothers who would go on to found Cracker Jack — the candied popcorn brand still sold at baseball stadiums across America today. After trading that recipe, Patsy moved west from Terra Haute, Indiana for health reasons, settling at the foot of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs, Colorado in 1903, where he founded Patsy's Candies with the same confection-making craft that had produced that legendary recipe. The factory has operated continuously since then, passing through four generations of the Niswonger family, and still produces in-house from the Colorado Springs location. In 2022, the family added Xite — the hemp-infused edible line — to the same production operation, applying over 120 years of confectionery expertise to Delta-9 THC and CBD. The Cracker Jack origin is unverified family legend rather than documented history, but it captures why Patsy's Candies considers itself one of the original American confectionery innovators.
