How to Make Lollipops

Lollipops are pieces of candy on a stick. You hold the stick and lick, bite or suck the candy. Usually, they're made from candy glass, which is essentially melted sugar with some flavoring and food coloring added.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of sugar
•  1 cup of water
•  1/2 tsp. flavoring oil
•  1 to 2 drops of food coloring

Steps

 

1. Use white sugar

2.Put the sugar in the water and heat it over a stove, on low to medium heat. Stir it constantly so it doesn't burn.

3.Add food coloring and flavoring when the sugar mixture has boiled. Do not wait until it has turned brown, or your lollipops will be awful tasting caramel!You may add lemon juice if you wish. 

4.Use a candy thermometer to tell when the sugar has reached the "hard crack" stage (this is between 300 and 310 degrees F) (about 150 degrees C). You can test this by dropping a bit of the melted sugar into a glass of cold water, where it should form a hard, brittle thread that cracks. 

5.Pour the melted sugar into molds. When it's cooled a little, add sticks. 

6.When the candy is completely cool, pop it out : lollipops. 

7.Finished.
