Magical and colorful lollipops with a swirl of flavors and colors, perfect for parties or a sweet treat.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Lightly spray a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Get your lollipop sticks ready and place them spaced out on the tray.
In a saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water.
Stir gently and heat over medium-high heat.
Bring the mix to a boil and do not stir once it starts boiling.
Use a candy thermometer and wait until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
Remove from heat.
Add your flavor extract and food coloring quickly, but gently stir only once or twice.
If using 2 or 3 colors, divide the syrup into separate bowls and add different colors to each.
Use a spoon or piping bag to swirl small amounts of different-colored syrup onto each lollipop stick.
Make fun spiral or swirly shapes.
If using edible glitter or sprinkles, sprinkle a little magic on top while they’re still hot.
Let the pops cool completely for about 15–20 minutes.
Once hardened, gently peel them off the tray and wrap them in plastic or serve right away.
Ensure the candy thermometer is accurate to achieve the perfect hard crack stage.
Work quickly when adding colors and flavors to prevent the syrup from hardening too soon.
Can I use natural food coloring?
Yes, natural food coloring can be used, but the colors may be less vibrant.
How do I store the lollipops?
Store them in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic to keep them fresh.
Can I make these without a candy thermometer?
It's possible, but a candy thermometer ensures accuracy in reaching the hard crack stage.
What other flavors can I use?
You can use any flavor extract you like, such as lemon, orange, or mint.
Can I make these lollipops vegan?
Yes, ensure that the food coloring and flavor extracts are vegan-friendly.
