Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the hard candy into your mold. The amount of candy you place into the mold depends on the size of the mold. For my mold, I used two Jolly Ranchers in this first step. Have fun with the colors! Be creative!
  • Position your lollipop sticks into the mold.
  • Place the mold into the oven for 10 minutes. The candy should be pretty well melted.
  • Open the oven and place two MORE Jolly Ranchers on TOP of the already melted candies. Why? Because you need to fill the mold completely.
  • Now put the mold back in the oven and allow to bake for about 8 more minutes or until the next set of candies is melted completely.
  • Before removing from the oven, make sure your sticks are positioned nicely into the candy so when you take the pops out to cool, they're pushed into the pops nicely.
  • Allow the lollies to cool for about an hour before you pop them out of the mold.

Notes

  1. Choosing the Right Candy: Use hard candy that melts evenly and has vibrant colors for your Easy Lollipops. Popular choices include Jolly Ranchers, Life Savers, or any other hard candy of your choice. Experiment with different flavors and colors to create a variety of lollipops that appeal to your taste preferences and aesthetic preferences.
  2. Even Melting: To ensure that your lollipops have a smooth and uniform texture, preheat your oven to the correct temperature (300 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the candies in the silicone mold for the specified time. Keep an eye on the candies while they're in the oven to prevent them from overheating or burning. If needed, adjust the baking time slightly based on your oven's performance and the type of candy you're using.
  3. Proper Cooling and Setting: Allow the lollipops to cool completely in the silicone mold before attempting to remove them. This ensures that they are set properly and hold their shape once removed from the mold. The cooling time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your lollipops, but allowing them to cool for about an hour should be sufficient. Once cooled, gently pop the lollipops out of the mold and enjoy your homemade treats!
