Ingredients
- 20 clear hard candies any flavor you desire
- Edible flowers of choice
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F or 176 C
- Prepare your lollipop molds by placing parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet
- Add your edible flowers into the molds
- Add your lollipop stick into the molds, set aside
- Place your melted candies into a large and tall heat proof pourable glass container
- When oven reaches 350F or 176 C, place your candy in a heat proof container into the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Watch it very closely to ensure it doesn't bubble over, you don't want a sticky candy mess in your oven! If it happens to bubble, it means your container isn't tall enough, and you can immediately pull it out of the oven and transfer it to a taller glass, and return to oven to finish heating
- After 10 minutes, quickly and carefully remove it from the oven with your oven mitt on, and carefully pour the melted liquid candy into your prepared lollipop molds
- Use the back of a metal spoon to press the flowers down if needed when they rise to the top
- Simply let them sit for four hours - overnight to let them come to room temperature and harden. If letting them sit overnight, make sure you move them to the fridge to prevent ants taking over them
- Remove them from the mold and wrap them in candy wrappers for gifting
Notes
The liquid candy will be hot and you need to work FAST. Don't get burnt by hot candy! Candy making is fun, but it's harder than it looks. Once your melted candy reaches room temperature is hardens so make sure you're all prepared before melting your candy.
Use unique hard candy molds for gorgeous lollies. You can find some that look like flowers or other unique designs to make them extra special. I preferred the circular shape, which brings me down memory lane.
Wrap them in clear cello bags with a small bow for easily transportable options, this will prevent them from sticking together and getting dirty.
Try a gorgeous wooden sucker stick for an elevated look. However, if you want to stand them in a lollipop stand, avoid these and go with plain lollipop sticks. The bulb at the bottom of the wooden sticks willl make them impossible to use the stand. I learned this the hard way.
Use edible glitter for a fine dust to really take these over the top.
Use a single drop of food coloring to add color to your melted candy mixture if you desire
