• 2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup light corn syrup
• red food coloring
• white lollipops stick - you can find them at your local craft store.
• 1/4 cup water
• You can even add flavor oils like peppermint or strawberry if you like.

1. Bring sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved completely.
2. If you have a candy thermometer it will register 300 degrees to 310 degrees (hard-crack stage), 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Once you have placed your lollipop sticks down Fill a larger pot with ice water.
4. When your sugar mixture is ready 300 degrees to 310 degrees, immediately set the pan into ice-water bath to stop the cooking (syrup will steam vigorously be careful of the steam); let sit about 25 seconds.
5. Swirl pan 1 minutes more to cool it while still be bubbling, thats OK .
6. Working very quickly, pour syrup onto the silicon baking sheets, forming circles (2 to 31/2 inches in diameter) and spacing pours about 3 inches apart then press in lollipop sticks.
7. I went very randomly wherever there was space I made a lollipop.
