Ingredients

How to make it

  • Line three baking sheets with Silpat nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
  • Bring sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Don't stir, but occasionally wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent crystals from forming; boil until mixture turns golden and registers 300 degrees to 310 degrees (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Immediately set pan into ice-water bath to stop the cooking (syrup will steam vigorously); let sit about 20 seconds. Swirl pan 2 minutes more to cool.
  • Working quickly, pour syrup onto baking sheets, forming circles (3 to 31/2 inches in diameter) and spacing pours about 4 inches apart .

    I made these for a halloween party last week and I need to perfect the recipie. The hard candy came out a little cloudy and if anyone has a tip, please send me way. When the kids licked the lolipops, they looked clear but otherwise they were cloudy when cooled and it wrapper.

    How cute. Well, actually I guess they are actually more sophisticated looking (for suckers) than cute. Thanks for sharing it with us.
