  • Category: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Flavor extracts (such as vanilla, strawberry, or lemon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange lollipop sticks on it, leaving ample space between each stick.
  2. Cook Sugar Mixture: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Insert a candy thermometer into the saucepan and continue cooking without stirring until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
  3. Add Flavor and Color: Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat. Quickly stir in your preferred flavor extract and food coloring, if desired. Exercise caution, as the mixture will be boiling.
  4. Form Lollies: Working swiftly, pour the hot sugar mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spoon or small ladle to form round shapes around each lollipop stick. Allow the lollies to cool and harden completely before handling.
  5. Enjoy Your Homemade Lollies: Once the lollies have cooled and solidified, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as delightful treats or package them as thoughtful homemade gifts for friends and family.

Notes

Experiment with different flavor combinations and colors to create unique lollies.
