How to Make Balloon Lollipops

Natural lollipops are safe for children to eat.

Children love lollipops as a special treat. Unfortunately, most commercially produced lollipops contain artificial flavors and colors that are not good for the body. Instead of serving commercial lollipops to your children, you can create your own lollipops out of natural ingredients, such as honey and vanilla. You can even form the lollipops into any shape you prefer, including balloons, by pouring the candy mixture into specially formed balloon-shaped lollipop molds.

Things You'll Need

• Honey
• Apple cider vinegar
• Vanilla extract
• Butter
• Balloon-shaped lollipop molds
• Paper lollipop sticks
• Sauce pan

Instructions

1. Pour 1/4 cup of water, 1 cup of honey and 1/2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar into a sauce pan.

2. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it boils gently.

3. Boil the mixture for five minutes, then dip the bottom of the pan into cold water to stop the mixture from continuing to boil.

4. Stir in 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and 1 tsp. of butter.

5. Grease balloon-shaped lollipop molds with butter.

6. Place a paper lollipop stick into each mold.

7. Pour two spoonfuls of the lollipop mixture into each of the balloon-shaped molds.

8. Chill the lollipops in a refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.
