Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light corn syrup
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon extract
- 12 lollipop sticks
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Have your lollipop sticks ready.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, without stirring, until it reaches 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. This is the hard-crack stage.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the yellow food coloring and lemon extract. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble.
- Working quickly, carefully pour the hot syrup into small circles on the prepared parchment paper. Immediately insert a lollipop stick into each circle.
- Allow the lollies to cool completely and harden. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once hardened, carefully peel the lollies from the parchment paper.
Notes
Store the Golden Dandelion Lollies in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid storing them in humid conditions, as they can become sticky.
