What could be sweeter for your Valentine than a homemade lollipop! They're fairly simple to make, if you have a candy thermometer, and sure to impress!

Trouble Shooting

I made a few batches of these. Both times I found they turned slightly yellow and caramel coloured. I liked the flavour of the plain batch, but my girls preferred the batch we added the marshmallow candy favouring too.

On the second batch I also added a few drops of red food colouring. I really liked how these were still clear, but had a pretty hint of pink, rather than the slight yellow of the first batch.

School Valentines

My girls decided to take these to school for Valentine's Day, so I made a simple Valentine card printable to go with them.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • ⅔ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • Optional: candy flavouring and or food colouring, and holiday sprinkles, and edible glitter

Instructions

  • Line baking sheets with silpat, parchment paper, or lightly grease.
  • Stir sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat until dissolved. Attach a candy thermometer and boil until it reaches hard-crack stage, 300-310 degrees. To help prevent crystallization, dip a pastry bush in cold water, and wash down the sides of the pan occasionally.
  • Take the pan off the heat. At this point you can leave the candy clear, or add a few drops of food colouring. You can also add candy flavouring or leave it plain.
  • Pour the candy onto the baking pan in small circles with great care, since the mixture is very hot. Before the candy sets, insert lollipop stick, and add sprinkles.
