How to Make Lollipops With JELL-O

Lollipops can be made in different flavors, colors and shapes. These delicious candies on a stick can even be made with Jell-O. It's not difficult to make homemade suckers with fruity Jell-O.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Parchment paper
• Cooking spray
• Lollipop sticks
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup corn syrup
• Jell-O
• Candy thermometer

1. Lay two flat cookie sheets on your kitchen counter. Place a sheet of parchment paper on each pan and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the lollipop sticks in two rows on the cookie sheets, 1 ½ inches apart.

2. Melt the butter and granulated sugar in a heavy saucepan on medium heat. Add the corn syrup and stir until the sugar mixture comes to a boil.

3. Stick the candy thermometer in the pan, but don't let it touch the bottom. The mixture is finished cooking when the candy thermometer reaches 275 degrees F.

4. Remove the pan from the stove. Pour a large box of Jell-O into the pan of cooked butter and sugar. Stir until the Jell-O is completely mixed in.

5. Pour the hot Jell-O mix over the lollipop sticks until each of the lollipops are as big or small as you want. You can also use small, disposable cups as molds for your lollipops. Fill ¼ inch of each cup with liquid candy, place a sucker stick in the middle and wait for the candy to harden.

6. Let the Jell-O pops harden and cool completely before you eat or store them.

Tips & Warnings

• The flavor of Jell-O you use determines the color of your lollipops. If you find the lollipop mix has become too thick, put the pan back on the stove and turn the burner on low heat until the syrup becomes thin again. Candy molds can be used to make lollipops in whatever shape you want.
