Cherry Lollipops

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 ounces cherry flavored gelatin, or favorite flavor
  • canola spray
  • treat sticks
  • sprinkles, optional

Instructions

  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with silicone baking mats. If using candy molds, spray the molds with canola oil and then place the treat sticks inside the indentations.
  • Place the sugar, corn syrup and water into a small saucepan. Bring to a quick boil over high heat. Once the temperature reaches 300 degrees. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the jello.
  • Working quickly, spoon the warm mixture into the molds. Top with sprinkles. If using the baking mats, quickly spoon the mixture onto the mat two inches apart. Place the sticks into each lollipop. Top with sprinkles.
  • Let the lollipops cool, about 30 minutes. Wrap in cellophane and store in a cool dry place.

Notes

If the treat sticks are too long, trim the ends before using. These lollipops can be made by simply placing the mixture on a silicone baking mat in your desired size, or by using candy molds. Both methods are described.
