Homemade Lollipops are surprisingly easy to make and only require a handful of ingredients. I flavored mine with cherry flavoring and glammed them up with some edible glitter!

Cooking Instructions
1.
Place lollipop sticks in the silicone mold and set them aside.
2.
In a small saucepan, add Water (3/4 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 1/2 cups), and Corn Syrup (3/4 cup), and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir well.
3.
Cook until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, keep an eye on the mixture, and after 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.
4.
Once the mixture hits 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) remove it from the heat immediately and stir in Citric Acid (1/4 tsp), Edible Glitter (to taste), and Cherry Flavoring (1 drop).
5.
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.
6.
Decorate with Sprinkles (to taste), if you'd like, and then let the lollipops harden for about 20 minutes before removing them from the molds and wrapping them up!
