Scale
- 3/4 cup (180 g) water
- 1 1/2 cup (300 g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (260 g) corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp citric acid powder
- 1–2 drops oil-based flavoring (I used LorAnn cherry flavoring)
- food coloring or edible glitter ( I used Fancy Sprinkles Prism Powder)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Place lollipop sticks in the silicone mold and set them aside.
- In a small saucepan add 3/4 cup (180 g) water, 1 1/2 cup (300 g) granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup (260 g) corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir well. Cook until the mixture reaches 300°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, keep an eye on the mixture, and around 15 minutes, drop a little bit of the mixture into a glass of ice water. If it turns hard, it is done, if it’s soft, try again in 2-3 minutes. Repeat until the sugar mixture hardens when dropped in cold water. Once the mixture hits 300°F remove it from the heat immediately and stir in 1/4 tsp citric acid powder, edible glitter or food color, and oil-based flavoring.
- Pour the mixture into a spouted cup for easier pouring. Pour a small amount of the sugar mixture into each lollipop cavity, Making sure to completely cover the lollipop stick. Decorate with sprinkles if you’d like and then let the lollipops harden (~20 minutes) before removing them from the molds and wrapping them up!
