Valentine?s Lollipops

I was looking through Valentine?s Ideas when I saw that Trendy Treehouse  did a great post and I was super excited to find Roots & Wings Co who posted this great recipe for Nana?s Suckers. I had never made suckers before but these were so cute that I had to give it a try. I had a little trouble finding sucker  molds. I didn?t have time to order the snazzy stainless steel ones they had so mine are a lot thinner. I think they turned out quit well. Especially since I had never even used a candy thermometer!! Thanks to the Sisters over at Roots & Wings Co I am in love and think I will be making suckers for every holiday!!

I halved the recipe. I only had 1 mold (5 lollipops) and this recipe made about 15 pops.

1 c sugar

1/4 c light karo syrup

1/4 c water

Bring to 260 degrees on a candy thermometer and then add coloring (I like the paste) and when it hits 290 take off heat and add flavoring. I used cherry.



This is what it looks like just as you need to remove it from the heat!! This is how I am going to give them to Jack?s Class.
